[slf4j-dev] How do you accept code contributions?

Hello all, we're starting to use slf4j at my group in the company and we quickly got bitten by bug 242 (http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242). So instead of just griping about it I want to contribute. But since all open source projects have different rules I thought it best to check here first. So, do I just create branch in Git and issue a push request when I deem myself done? How do I do with licensing? I have a verbal OK from my company but I guess you might need something in writing? Anything else I should think of? Cheers, /Andreas Magnusson
