Please have a look at https://wiki.openafs.org/devel/GitDevelopers/ . =
The "any OpenID" part may be a bit misleading - a launchpad account will =
work.

Once you mastered this step, pushing your proposed change to =
gerrit.openafs.org for review by others is just what you're after.

Your ideas behind the change should be pointed out in the commit =
message. That will make the description of your thoughts eternal when =
your change is accepted.

Please remember pushing to the master branch, not to one of the stable =
branches.

If you still have trouble making your contribution available to the =
project, please let us know.
