As far as how you offer your contributions, feel free to do so any way you wish. However, consider what your intention is in your contribution. The manner you suggest benefits very few, and more specifically may not be beneficial to the OFBiz community, for which you are saying that you specifically are not wanting to be a parasite to. If your intention is to benefit the OFBiz community, to cover as many bases as possible, consider at a minimum to offer your contribution to JIRA, even if it's not likely to be added into the project itself. In my opinion, offering it to JIRA, you're being clear that it is your work and that you are offering it under the Apache license (others may certainly disagree with that opinion).
Yes, this is true. Unless the software is explicitly contributed to OFBiz (most easily done through Jira) it can NOT go into the project. Ie if someone creates an add on component and drops it on SourceForge, and even licenses it under Apache 2.0, we can't touch and it is not legal to bring it into the project.
