Please start by reading the excellent guide for submitting patches to the Erlang/OTP project. While not everything there necessarily apply to YXA patches, there is lots of good theory in there. Important parts :

Git (or Github) introduction. How to fork, branch and commit.
Writing good commit messages.
Sending git fetch requests to yxa-devel to get public, archived, discussions.

Steps for YXA patches

Fork YXA in Github
Make a suitably named branch for your contribution
Run the test suite after making your changes (make all test)
Send a ‘git fetch’ request with the path to your fork and branch to the yxa-devel mailing list (you need to be subscribed to post there).
