Mayank, If you creating something new like some framework for example you should create patches ans send them as RFC, for sending these patches you should send appropriately to the community , for example if for video you got send patches to that community, Later on when the community accepts your patches, you can send a pull request for the appropriate custodian. Or else if you have patch which fixes some issue, you need to send directly to the community and CC to the change who had made.
