Hi Colin I can't give you an "official" answer about Qpid broker PRs, but I have made some contributions to Qpid Proton and the Qpid C++ broker in the past, most recently in May 2022.
I suggest a good page to look at is the "Dashboard" https://qpid.apache.org/dashboard.html You found the right repo on GitHub. The workflow I used was as follows: - Open a Jira ticket (You can use the "Create Issue" link on the dashboard) - On GitHub, fork the qpid-cpp repo - Make your changes on this fork (I prefer to work on a branch that includes the ticket ID) - Submit a Pull Request from your fork back to the main repo To accomplish this, you will need both a GitHub account and an ASF Jira account. I notice that recently (November 2022) public sign-ups to ASF jira were disabled due to increasing spam. It looks like you need to email a request for an account. This article <https://infra.apache.org/jira-guidelines.html#who> has more details and implies that you need to email <priv...@qpid.apache.org> - though I would be tempted to copy <d...@qpid.apache.org> as well. In general, <d...@qpid.apache.org> is probably the better list to use for contributions. I hope that helps.
