+ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free).
+ If you're planning to implement a new feature, it makes sense to discuss your changes
  on the [dev list](https://maven.apache.org/mailing-lists.html) first.
  This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't
  considered to be in Apache Maven's scope.
+ Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
