=== Voicing the importance of an issue
We seriously appreciate thoughtful comments. If an issue is important to
you, add a comment with a solid write up of your use case and explain
why its so important. Please avoid posting comments comprised solely of
a thumbs up emoji 👍.
Granted that you share your thoughts, we might even be able to come up
with creative solutions to your specific problem. If everything youd
like to say has already been brought up but youd still like to add a
token of support, feel free to add a

=== "`My issue isnt getting enough attention`"
First of all, *sorry about that!* We want you to have a great time with
{kib}.
Theres hundreds of open issues and prioritizing what to work on is an
important aspect of our daily jobs. We prioritize issues according to
impact and difficulty, so some issues can be neglected while we work on
more pressing issues.
Feel free to bump your issues if you think theyve been neglected for a
prolonged period.

=== "`I want to help!`"
*Now were talking*. If you have a bug fix or new feature that you would
like to contribute to {kib}, please *find or open an issue about it
before you start working on it.* Talk about what you would like to do.
It may be that somebody is already working on it, or that there are
particular issues that you should know about before implementing the
change.
We enjoy working with contributors to get their code accepted. There are
many approaches to fixing a problem and it is important to find the best
approach before writing too much code.
