There is support for patches 
<https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/patches/>, but it looks like almost no 
one (including me) ever looks there since there are quite a few 
outstanding patches some of which are over ten years old. 😦

I find this a bit unfortunate since I think people are used to 
pull/merge requests to propose changes to projects. AFAIK, sourceforge 
doesn't really provide that feature.
