Hello

You need to propose a feature on ipfs in first step read that : https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs#contributing

and after you can just fork the project code your propal et create a pull request in official repository. after you can create also a issue on official repository to discuss with developpers to check your works is not duplicated with another developpers and find good way to implement that in ipfs.

Hi,

in first time to contribute IPFS maybe can be intresting to undestand IPFS specs : https://github.com/ipfs/specs
after that follow contributing specs : https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs#contributing. after that choose your implementation go js java rust etc.
