If you're familiar with git, please clone the MediaGoblin repository here:

https://git.sr.ht/~mediagoblin/mediagoblin

Then commit your changes into a new branch to add keyboard control. If
you have a public repository somewhere, push your code to than and send
us a link.

Alternatively, you can email your patch to this mailing list
(mediagoblin-devel@gnu.org), by following the guide on SourceHut.

If you wanted to create a free SourceHut account, you can also use their
web-based patch submission process.
