If you want to add a new module to CMake, then you must volunteer to maintain it, or find someone that will. See the Call for maintainers announcement on the mailing list. This page contains a list of Module maintainer volunteers, and instructions on how to become a maintainer.

Please DO NOT ADD a Bug Tracker entry for a new Module request. Instead, volunteer to become a module maintainer. Module maintainers get direct push access to CMake's next branch in Git.

New Maintainer

Please follow these steps to become a module maintainer:

  1. Read the Modules/readme.txt file documenting module conventions
  2. Subscribe to the CMake Developers Mailing List and introduce yourself and the module
  3. Create a CDash account and subscribe to the CMake project to receive notification when your changes may have broken something
  4. Read the Git Workflow instructions

In addition backwards compatibility for all existing variables in the current set of modules must be maintained strictly.
