 * Please note that our preferred commit message format for simple version updates is "`<FORMULA_NAME> <NEW_VERSION>`", e.g. "`source-highlight 3.1.8`". `devel` version updates should have the commit message suffixed with `(devel)`, e.g. "`nginx 1.9.1 (devel)`". If updating both stable and `devel`, the format should be a concatenation of these two forms, e.g. "`x264 r2699, r2705 (devel)`".

9. Await feedback or a merge from Homebrew's maintainers. We typically respond to all PRs within a couple days, but it may take up to a week, depending on the maintainers' workload.
