Khurrum,

you only need github account. What you need is to create mahout's master
fork in your github space and keep it in sync, as possible, with master as
you go (by doing regular pulls). That way you have the most chance of
having least conflicts possible.

At any point in time (I recommend at perhaps when you feel you are about 50
to 70% done or just need a code advice), you can create a github pull
request to the apache/mahout master. Make sure to include MAHOUT-XXX issue
in the head of the pull request, that way ASF will automatically propagate
code comments to jira, and so all discussion can be done entirely on github.

Again, if you take on a signficant contribution (such as a new numerical
method contribution), I recommend to discuss the proposal on the @dev list

thanks.
