Write highly detailed commit messages.

Email the owner to discuss what you're adding and why, especially if it's a big thing.

Keep your commits small--nothing worse than a mega-commit which fixes 3 different bugs and updates the formatting for 10 files.

Make sure to follow the project's formatting and naming conventions.

Also make sure you update and add relevant tests and documentation.
