The basic information is http://activemq.apache.org/contributing.html
essentially create a jira issue and attach a patch in diff format and grant the ASF rights to use it (tick the check box on the file attach page). That is the protocol. The JIRA issue makes it easy for folks to find the improvement and provides a place to discuss that change. If the changes are radical, start a thread on the dev list with a reference to the JIRA. all contributions are most welcome.
