Hi Kevin,
There are indeed no clear instructions or guidelines on how to contribute to
either NAnt or NAntContrib ... but feel free to take this task upon you ;-)
I'll give a small summary to guide you:
* all contributions must be under the license of the individual project.
* follow the existing coding guidelines (which are not well documented, so
just follow the style of the existing source)
* commit access is granted after you're supplied a few patches
* until you actual get commit access, patches should be sent to the
developer mailing list
* patches that are accompanied by unit tests will be easier accepted
* adding dependencies on new third-party libraries is discouraged
* avoid unsafe code
* ...

Subject: [NAntC-Dev] Contributing to NAnt or NAnt Contrib
I posted this on the NAnt Developers list, but am repeating it here because
it may be a better forum to solicit feedback - my apologies to anybody on
both lists.
All,
Is there any documentation on the process a developer can follow to
contribute functionality to NAnt or NAnt Contrib. I have a task which I've
used on several projects to greatly simplify and automate database schema
change management. I've never contributed to an open-source project, but I
think it's a great piece of software that others would benefit from. Maybe
it's just because I'm not a seasoned open source developer, but I wasn't
able to locate the information I needed on the NAnt or NAnt Contrib websites
to guide me through the code contribution process.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated,
Kevin Hurwitz
