I am assuming that you locally committed your changes. 

1 - cd to the root folder of your git repo
2 - type 'git diff . > docu.patch' to create a patch file (with all the information of your changes)
3 - login at https://bugs.freedesktop.org (it is necessary that you have an account)
4 - file a new bug, don’t forget to attach the patch file to the bug report.

... then the maintainers can look at the changes and push them to the repo.  

You might want to have look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101795 which
is a simple example of a bug report including a patch file I have filed today after I went through
this very exercise this morning. ... and I am not an expert to that at all.

This sound just perfect to me - and it is certainly better than my French in any event. :)
