new contributors presentation

[Nathan PAYRE]

Hi all,
me and my two other partner (Daniel and Timothee) have make the choice
to contribute to gitHub for a university project supervised by Mattieu
Moy.

The principal project is to improve the git-send-email function, for
example we will try to implement the possibility to answer to a email
by keeping the recipient list or quote properly the email body!
Do you think that it's will be usefull ?
Do you have any other proposition to improve git-send-email ?

We are new in the contributor's world and we surely need you to
succeed this project !
Do you have any tips ?

Thanks you for reading me !

Nathan, Daniel, Thimothee

First things first.  I suspect that you are trying to contribute to
the Git project (GitHub is totally a different animal, even though
they benefit greatly from our presence, and we theirs).

And if you are dipping your toes to the Git project's development
community, then, "Welcome!" ;-).

I do not know about others, but I cannot quite tell what you are
propsing from that three-line description to tell if it would be
useful or not.  Let's wait to hear more from you guys.

Last year, another students group (Tom Russelo, Samuel Groot)
supervised by Matthieu Moy were working on git.
There goal was to create the --quote-mail=<file> option for git
send-email, this option permit to quote an email in the same cover letter.
All the metadata ("Cc", "Subject", ...) will be automatically filled.

For now the code contains a syntax error then our obvious first
goal is to fix it.
