hello.
We ran into the problem of having to apply the xattr of NTFS while mounted as ntfs-3g .
Accordingly, we will develop a function to set xattr according to the driver in wimlib.
If this can be useful to someone else, I'd like to contribute to the mainstream.
Is there a manual on how to contribute?

Re: How can I contribute?
As mentioned on the main page, you can open a pull request at https://github.com/ebiggers/wimlib.
Regarding "apply the xattr of NTFS while mounted as ntfs-3g", are you talking about the directory extraction mode, or are you talking about the NTFS volume extraction mode? (Refer to the wimapply manual page.) The directory extraction mode already supports xattrs. The NTFS volume extraction mode does not, and support for it could potentially be added. However, the NTFS volume extraction mode requires that the volume *not* be mounted with ntfs-3g, so it's unclear that that's what you're talking about.
