My opinion is that all you have to do is 1) read the developer
oriented
pages on our wiki (start with the link for developers on the home page
of http://wiki.spamassassin.org ) then 2) create an account on our
Bugzilla database at http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org then 3) file
a CLA
following the instructions you see when you register the Bugzilla
account, which takes care of licensing issues allowing us to accept
your
code submissions, then 4) open a ticket on Bugzilla of type RFE
(request
for enhancement) in which you explain your revolutionary new scoring
system and attach patches to our existing code base that implement it.
Once you do that people could look at, try out, discuss, criticize,
enhance, etc. until we have something ready to be committed if it gets
that far.
Do that enough times with enough good results and you will be in
danger
of being invited to have commit access to the source code so you
can do
the work of checking in your code instead of bothering us about it :-)

Awesome Sidney, thank you for all the detail. I don't know how to
code, but will take the process as far as a I can.
