Hey Siddhant, good question! While I'm not a part of the Notepad++ team, I do know they have their source code available here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus. As far as pull requests are concerned, they do have some pull guidelines, which they have outlined here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md . It seems like Notepad++ does have pretty solid language support as a whole – if there's a language you'd like to use that isn't already recognized by the program, they have user-defined language support built in: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/user-defined-language-system/. Hope these help!
