 If you're planning to submit a pull request, and if it's more than a trivial fix (for example, for a typo), it's usually a good idea first to file an issue describing what you're proposing to do and how it will work. Then you can find out if it's likely that such a pull request will be accepted, and how it fits into wider ongoing plans.
