Hello,

I am working on your app, and I dont know if you mind giving me direct access to commit into the project, as there are many things that must be fixed.

I will still commiting to you more fixes

Projects on Github typically use pull requests rather than direct commit access. You fork the project under your own account, and then when you have a set of changes for a specific issue you submit a pull request with those changes for the project owner to review and (if they approve) incorporate automatically.

6 months!
You are so slow to react!

Maybe it's better to forth as independent project

Uh, you do realize I’m just another person watching this project, not the project owner, right?

If you wanted to contact the project owner directly you should have emailed. You filed an issue against the project so another person who is interested in the project replied to you and explained how Github works. It sounds like you still don’t really understand that though.

Like I said: Rather than beg in a public issue for direct commit access, you should fork the project on Github, make whatever changes you like in your fork, put together pull requests containing those changes, and send those pull requests to the original project. That way (1) people can use your changes immediately by using your fork of the project rather than the original and (2) the maintainer(s) of the original project can review each logical set of changes and decide whether and how to incorporate them, without having to give lots of people direct access to the repository.
