Good question. 

AFAIK there are 2 ways: 

1:
 - branch/fork the corresponding project/package in OBS[1]
 - fix errors in your personal home project
 - file a submit request to the upstream maintainer (within obs)
 - the package maintainer will hopefully include your work

2: Submit a patch in fabricator[2] 
 - create a task
 - add your patch/diff to the task
 - the upstream developer will hopefully include your work

 [2] https://git.kolab.org/

With way 1 you get your working packages in [3] (at least for AMD64). Incredibly handy for direct inclusion within some local kolab installation. With way 2 you'll better reach upstream developers.
