+I accept code contributions as well (send merge requests!). But for any
+major contribution (more than 15 lines, or so), you need to make a
+copyright assignment to the Free Software Foundation. This is necessary
+because the themes are distributed through the official GNU ELPA
+repository and the FSF must be in a position to enforce the GNU General
+Public License.
+
+Copyright assignment /is a simple process/ that I had to follow as well.
+Check the
[[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future][request
form]]. You must send an email to the address mentioned
+in the form and then wait for the FSF to send you a legal agreement.
+Sign the document and file it back to them. This should all happen via
+email and take about a week.
+
+I encourage you to go through this process. You only need to do it
+once. It will allow you to make contributions to Emacs in general.
