The manual contains information about contributing in the section
"Developing with Ant | Ant Task Guidelines"
(http://ant.apache.org/ant_task_guidelines.html)


The tutorial "Tasks using Properties & Filesets" uses that for 
explaining how to contribute a new task. (document not finished yet)
But maybe the informations already present will help you.
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ant/docs/manual/tutorial-tasks-
filesets-properties.html?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain#contribute


Directly to the first question in the "Contribute" area of the tutorial
   "is our task welcome? :-) Simply ask on the user list"

I thought for myself to implement a TeeLogger, so please contribute it :-)
