How to contribute

Hey, cool tool! Is there anyway to contribute to this to fill the blanks about some port numbers that lana isn't storing information for?
Indeed it's a feature requested by other users (see here #6), so it will be included in a future version :)
The ports.db file is now a JSON one (see #11). But I want to add a new field before opening contributions, named "Official" for example, to display if a port is extracted from the IANA website or if it is added by a user.
By the way a new option (--official) could be created.
A validation for each PR adding a new port will be asked to prevent abuse (2 or 3 users should say 👍 to accept a new one).
Sounds good
from the core api I would recommend exposing multiple constants, something like:
import whatportis
whatportis.IANA
whatportis.COMMUNITY
I also sort of expected this to expose a dictionary, not like a complicated database thing. My fork will probably be very different if anyone wants that.

The current implementation does not use a complicated database thing. It actually uses a JSON file which could be exposed as a dictionary.

As @ncrocfer suggested: there has to be a new field in the JSON db to specify whether a port is official by IANA or a community specified port.
I can have a look at it.
