syncthing/syncthing-lite at GitHub (sorry, I am limited to 2 links per post) says:

That’s what I do now. I did a few things (see [https://gitlab.com/l-jonas/syncthing-lite/commits/master](https://gitlab.com/l-jonas/syncthing-lite/commits/master)) and am interested in maintaining it.
I made some changes to syncthing-java (see at [https://gitlab.com/l-jonas/syncthing-java/commits/master](https://gitlab.com/l-jonas/syncthing-java/commits/master)) to fix the global discovery (was using old, not anymore existent discovery servers) and to allow chosing a device from the local network during the setup instead of writing/ scanning its ID. (Do `gradlew install` here before compiling in Android Studio)

Make pull requests against the original projects.

This is not possible. Look at [https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-lite:](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-lite:)

This prevents everything (including Merge Requests).
Additionally, my fork is at GitLab (but moving to GitHub would be possible, but there is still the first problem)

I have unarchived the project, so it is now possible to open pull requests against it. If you are interested in getting it running, I think the first thing to do would be to make it build properly on the build server.

What are the rules/ processes at the Syncthing project? Is there any document somewhere? Who should I ping for an code review? (Or should I just wait after I created an Merge Request as I did until now?)

The rules are up to the (sub)project maintainers to decide, which up until recently there weren’t any. 🙂 You seem to have gotten good responses on your pull requests so that’s answered I think. There are some contribution guidelines for Syncthing at [Contribution Guidelines — Syncthing v1 documentation](https://docs.syncthing.net/dev/contributing.html) - they won’t apply verbatim to you, but could be something to base things on.

I’m very pleased to see there are people interested in developing syncthing lite. It’s something I could find very useful, and I suspect others will too so was dissapointed to see it was ‘unmaintained’. Thanks!
