please have a look at this email:

https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rf4e83cb43d7026af2bc37235623980d59afbc230ce66713ba92ccb9f%40%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E

that should get you going. The TL;DR version:

- Create a local branch based on the upstream master (whether cloned from 
gitbox or github does not matter)
- Add your changes to this branch (cherry-picking can help porting existing 
work)
- Push that branch to a public repository (github is the common location)

Create a PR based on that public repositories branch. On github you
can use the build in PR facility, if the repository is not on github,
you'll need to use plain e-mail with a reference.

HTH
