Hi Stevenson,

Yes, creating a ticket is a good way to get started.  Especially since that 
allows us to track who is doing this work (as we don't want two developers 
accidentally working on the same thing).  And I do agree these sound like 
worthwhile improvements to the default authentication.

Our code contribution guidelines are 
at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines

Honestly though, if you have any questions about the process, reach out and 
let me know... either via email or via our Slack 
(https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Slack).

Tim
