Filing an issue is always the starting point, never the end point of your involvement. In open source projects, you can't file an issue and then walk away and hope someone will turn up to fix it. You need to motivate others to fix it or fix it yourself or at least do some investigation.

That should get you very far. Though there are several specifics that you'll need to learn about Maven (many resources available on-line), e.g., images go in the 'resources' folder, and Maven projects in general are very strictly structured. Good news: NetBeans has great support for Maven.
