I would start by making a ticket outlining what is required, and then
contact the module maintainer for netCDF for suggestions on how to proceed.

If there is significant API change that would affect others, the module
maintainer may recommend writing a proposal (
https://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/procedures/proposal.html).

For new functionality that needs an API change we make major releases twice
a year (making roadmap planning easier). We do this so frequently to
support consultants that only get paid when the needed functionality is
available for download. When we did releases once a year releases got
delayed for "one more thing". Worst case roadmap change available in six
months.

If the new functionality is additive and does not need an API change, it
can be backported to the stable branch after a month. This gives people a
chance to try try out the functionality and ensure it does not compromise
stability.  Best case roadmap change available in 2 months.

GeoTools matches release schedule with GeoServer, but our proposal process
is a little more relaxed.
