Hi Shamil,
We're glad you'd like to contribute. As you've mentioned, both
approaches are perfectly valid for contributing to Wget. You may fork
the project at gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget and send a merge request, or just
send the patch via email with a cover letter. We will process both of
them the same way.
However, before we can accept your contribution, we will need you to
submit a copyright assignment form to the Free Software Foundation. But
that's at a later stage and we will handle it after your first patches
are submitted.
