How do I access modules that aren't in the base install? PR #20848 for instance?

I think Nosmoht’s oracle modules have been shipit-ed, but they’re not part of the Ansible install nor are they in the repo if I fork it.
What’s the clean way to access and/or install those modules that have been released but aren’t part of the base install?

Thanks,
Chris

PR 20848 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/20848 has a green icon with the text "Open" in it, that means that it's not merged yet.

And by reading the comments it seams to a lot of issues with the PR that the author need to address before it will be merged.

Ah, I see. So, in general, once things are clean, the get merged into the out-of-the-box install?
So there are no extra modules somewhere that can be included post install?

Thanks,

Yes.
And it might go faster if people from the community test modules in PRs and give feedback since this lessen the load on the reviewer.

No. But you can test/install the module locally.
Just create a directory called library in the same directory you have your playbooks and copy the module(s) in there.
