The way to go for structural changes is to work on them in a separate
branch of yours, then discuss the change on the list by suggesting to
test your branch.  Once the branch is stable enough, you can submit it
as a patch or a list of patches.

See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#org4a93bd0 and let
us know if that's clear enough - otherwise please enhance this page.

Thanks!
