The normal approach here would be to create a fork of the fedora-comps repository on Pagure under your own account, then make your changes and push them to your fork, then once they're ready you can issue a pull request which notifies the comps maintainers to look at your changes and merge them if they look good. I can help walk you through this over IRC if you like.
