Contributing Stockfish code

Hi,

Can someone say how one can add source code improvement suggestion to Stockfish Framework test queue? Does it require some installations or only registration? I have downloaded the master branch where I think the changes should be done.

Submitting tests no longer requires an email to me. Since we have the approval step anyway, it didn't add any security.

Edit: The wiki has help on creating tests as well https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/wiki
