I tried looking at how I would contribute a fix, but I lacked an
understanding on how tests are performed in surefire.

Also: would you accept a test that's using check-leak to prevent
future leaks like this? (maybe a separate sub-module for this
test?)... and where I would add such test?

I would even dedicate my personal time into proposing a fix if I can
get some basic understanding about this.


Is there a chat channel I can ask questions about the codebase? or the
user's or dev's list is a good place to start?
