I am new to this process. Am I supposed to offer documentation changes or anything else?

@neo314 No, as you only opened the issue you are not required to do anything. It's on the author of this pull request here to do that, if necessary. But it would be nice of course if you could test this PR.

I tested the code I offered. Not sure what further I should do since there are no testing instructions. Not sure if what I offered got changed.

Well this PR is indeed missing testing instructions. If they have been added you could follow these instructions, and if the test was successful submit your test result in the issue tracker. But as said, right now it is missing instructions.
