As a college task I have to contribute to a module converting it to a Drupal 8 version.
And for that I ask the Drupal Community permission to do this, and to start as soon as possible when I have time.
Thanks in advance.
I hope to get an answer soon.
Kind regards,

Submitting patches
Hello @bertverleyen,
Welcome to the Drupal community!
If you want to make a change to a module, or even Drupal core, you don't need permission, or even write access to its source code repository!
Instead, we write patch files and submit them to the maintainers of that module in the module's issue queue, who review it, and eventually, accept the patch into the source code repository.
For in-depth information, you might want to read the Drupal 7 documentation on practicing patches, the getting involved guide on patches, the Module Contributor Ladder, the Drupal core ladder, and an article I wrote on best practices for generating patches.
I can give you a brief overview of the process here:
In summary, you can start writing your patch file right away! You don't need special permissions from anyone to do so.
I know that's a lot of information, but I hope that helps you get started! feel free to ask more questions here, or, if you want a faster response time, in the #drupal-contribute channel in IRC.
