0. Make sure that example `.yourextension` files are present in the [samples directory][samples] for each language that uses `.yourextension`.
0. Test the performance of the Bayesian classifier with a relatively large number (1000s) of sample `.yourextension` files. (ping @arfon or @bkeepers to help with this) to ensure we're not misclassifying files.

To add support for a new language:
0. Add an entry for your language to [`languages.yml`][languages].
0. Add a grammar for your language. Please only add grammars that have [one of these licenses](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/257425141d4e2a5232786bf0b13c901ada075f93/vendor/licenses/config.yml#L2-L11).
0. Add your grammar as a submodule: `git submodule add https://github.com/JaneSmith/MyGrammar vendor/grammars/MyGrammar`.
0. Add your grammar to [`grammars.yml`][grammars] by running `script/convert-grammars --add vendor/grammars/MyGrammar`.
0. Download the license for the grammar: `script/licensed`. Be careful to only commit the file for the new grammar, as this script may update licenses for other grammars as well.
0. Add a grammar for your language: `script/add-grammar https://github.com/JaneSmith/MyGrammar` Please only add grammars that have [one of these licenses][licenses].
0. Add samples for your language to the [samples directory][samples] in the correct subdirectory.
0. Open a pull request, linking to a [GitHub search result](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=extension%3Aboot+NOT+nothack&type=Code&ref=searchresults) showing in-the-wild usage.
In addition, if your new language defines an extension that's already listed in [`languages.yml`][languages] (such as `.foo`) then sometimes a few more steps will need to be taken:
0. Make sure that example `.foo` files are present in the [samples directory][samples] for each language that uses `.foo`.
