Yes, please join geeklog-devtalk and post your question there. You will 
need to work with Dirk Haun mostly since he stewards the 1.3.x branch (I 
manage GL 2).  He will give you his thoughts on this.  I think initially 
he'll just apply the changes on your behalf (with due credit) and if you 
contribute later in a regular basis he may decide then to give you CVS 
access.  But for now start with the list:
