Please file a bug report. Pull requests with an associated JIRA issue will get more attention.
Optional: Start a discussion on the logback-dev mailing list about your proposed change.

Fork qos-ch/logback. Ideally, create a new branch from your fork for your contribution to make it easier to merge your changes back.

Please add unit tests for your work if appropriate. It usually is.
