documents for large or controversial changes to Matplotilb.  These
documents should provide a discussion of both why and how the changes
should be made.</p>
<p>To create a new MEP open a pull request (PR) adding a file based on

initial PR only a rough description is required and it should be
merged quickly.  Further detailed discussion can happen in follow on
PRs.</p>
