You need to fork the main matplotlib repo, so you have your own copy
associated with your github account:
https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo

Once you've forked it, clone it and create a branch:

git clone my-forked-repo-url
cd matplotlib
git checkout -b my_awesome_new_feature
# ... hack hack hack ...
git commit -am "Useful commit message here"
git push origin my_awesome_new_feature

Once you've done that, make a pull request by following the
instructions here:
https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests

Once you've done that, congratulations!

Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Damon
