Yep,

In Github land it's called a "pull request".  While logged in to Github, 
navigate to the geany-plugins repository and click the "fork" button. 
It will make a copy of the repository under your account.  Create a new 
branch, hack away and when it's ready, click the "Pull request" button 
on Github and it will notify committers that you have something ready in 
your branch to be merged.

Of course like you did here on the ML is fine too, but it's easier to 
loose track of if it's not persistent somewhere.

Cheers,
Matthew Brush
