Hi Grig, Glad to hear you're interested in contributing. Yes, this community is very open to outside contributors. The right way to contribute, as you said, is to open a ticket on JIRA and upload relevant patches. A committer will apply, review, and commit your patch. With enough contributions you can eventually become a committer.
Returning the tuple as you described is a viable option. I can also see returning a dictionary mapping the values (my preference). While there are multiple solutions, I think it comes down to preference. Paul or Jerry or some of the main python contributors would be better suited to comment as I mostly work on the Java version.
