We do accept changes from anyone. However, we do not accept all
changes. Bug fixes are always welcome. GNU make is a critical
infrastructure project with a LOT of portability issues, dependency
issues, etc. so not all ideas for improvements/new features will be
accepted.
If you are planning on working on a larger change that may have
backward-compatibility, etc. implications it's best to discuss your
idea first, on the bug-make@gnu.org mailing list.
If you have a patch for a fix, you can email it (as an attachment
please) to the bug-make@gnu.org mailing list.
You can also file a bug (even if the change is not technically a bug
fix) then attach the patch to it on Savannah:
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/make/
Cheers!
