Sure, why not?  QuantLib has a long history of including such contributions.

I am not a QuantLib admin but the common process for many open source
projects is for you to fork, and to prepare a clean pull request that updates
code, possibly adds tests, maybe adds an example, ... without affecting
existing code and tests.

| Is becoming a contributor tightly coupled with the git commit authorship?

Pull requests are incremental and do not requirement commit authorship on
your part but only on the part of the core maintainers with such commit
rights who review the pull request contribution. 

Hope this helps,  Dirk
