We're still working through the best way. For now, what will work is this:

* fork https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions to your github account
* create a branch there w/ your changes
* push them to your github, and then create a pull request from your 
fork of your branch against fink-distributions/master.
* Then an admin will merge them into fink

The eventual plan then is to give package owners commit access like we 
had in the CVS days. But PR requests from a branch in your fork will 
work regardless.

If you don't have much git experience, SourceTree is a very useful gui 
that helps immensely with managing commits and branches. Others use the 
GitHub app, but I don't have any experience with it.
