contributing to scipy.spatial.distance

hi - I'm new to this development list so please excuse me if I'm not doing things right (like top-posting or bottom-posting, etc.) I would like to contribute an additional vector distance function to the absolutely wonderful scipy.spatial.distance package written by Damian Eads. I have a patch for scipy/spatial/distance.py written for scipy version 0.7.1 a while back. Could someone please advise me on how to incorporate the patch? I don't know if the repo is in github or somewhere else. Also (not to be self-aggrandizing!) but would it be possible to add my name somewhere to this file if the patch gets makes it in successfully? Thanks, Michael Yang

Hi Michael, Scipy is indeed on Github, and can be found at [1]. Contributions happen through Pull Requests -- if you're not familiar with that system, there are tutorials available through Github. Before opening a pull request, it would be good to have a look through the documentation on contributing [2]. Thanks!
