The usual flow of things (and distromakers usually follow it) is opening bugs in freedesktop.org's bugzilla, against xkeyboard-config (one bug per layout or variant). dudus: I absolutely do not mind accepting patches.

I just started hacking into xkeyboard-config for the first time last week, trying to fix bug #92652 on LP. I'm basically trying to add a new variant of Brazil Layout called br(br-intl). I saw that a lot of code is very old and that really mess things up for new people wanting to get hand dirt. If I happen to get the bug fixed I'll sure will take it upstream. Also I'd suggest you take a look at the ubuntu source package as it has a lot of patches on current xkeyboard-config code base. Not sure if you're aware of this fact. Two of the bugs are explicitly marked as send-upstream. I'm sure Ubuntu maintainer will eventualy send this upstream. If I had more experience I would certainly do it myself. But I'm just a first timer #92652 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/92652 Hey very relevant post for me.
