Hi everybody!
A am a new contributor but a long user of NetBeans (since 2010). After
using it so much including in commercial project I want to contribute to
developing NetBeans.

I created an issue in the issue tracker:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3929#

and forked the NetBeans repository, created a branch, did some changes to
code and tested it locally.
What should I do next? Discuss the issue in the issue tracker? Wait for
some response in the issue tracker or could I simply create a Pull requect?
Should I change the state of the issue after starting to make some changes
to code?
What is the best practice here?

Also, I have a question regarding adding comments to the codebase. Is it
considered a good practice adding comments and javadocs to the existing
codebase when working on fixing something?

Here (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Submitting+Pull+Request+on+Apache+NetBeans
) i have not found the relevant information.

There is the point "Don't change code that is correct and works." but is
adding a comment considered changing the code?
