First, you should be aware that you can make contributions to the Wiki openly by logging in and editing. However, there are some pages or other documents that are open for editing only to project managers and qualified editors - in which case you have to ask a maintainer to add your contribution. Simply put, you notify the project managers that you made some contribution, and request that they add your contribution to the wiki or other OSE repository.
For OSE, the way this works is a little different than using a distributed version control system such as Git. In OSE's case, the wiki is open for all to edit - thereby by analogy, informal or uncontrolled 'pull requests' are happening continuously. However, there are some parts of the OSE wiki that are controlled more tightly, such as the OSE Warehouse - which contains modules that are officially approved as the components of the GVCS. Only product leads are allowed to update the OSE Warehouse repository.
