In order to be able to break a process that process needs to be
established first. Which actually would be a good idea => Currently I
don't have internet but as soon as I will have internet I will add a
testbench for drawdf to the repo and a entry in the README.developers file.

What I did before adding the changes was to follow all the
steps in the README-Files (which showed that nobody seems to follow the
documented process: some of the tests found there failed and still seem
to fail on my computer) and (at that time my experience with the
examples from the documentation was that about 20% of them failed. In
the meantime I've corrected many of the examples and have found out that
many of the failures were caused by TeXinfo automatically trying to be
intelligent about quotes in examples, which could be deactivated, but
not had the time nor the knowledge to make all examples from the
documentation work) I tested a few examples from my own files (as I
said: plotdf is great) and from bug reports whose status was "solved".

Tl;dr: I wasn't aware that such a process exists. But I agree that
creating such a process makes sense.

Kind regards,
