1. Register for an account at the LLVM Bugzilla (the link you sent above).
2. Find a bug to work on (as you've done already)
3. Accept the bug to show that you're working on it, so that effort
isn't
duplicated
4. Post a patch (and test case, if applicable) that fixes the bug
5. Respond to feedback and iterate to revise your patch as needed, until
someone accepts and submits your patch
6. Mark bug as "fixed"
7. Repeat from step 2
