You can clone that git project from git.centos.org, then checkout the
'c7' branch and fix the issue on your branch .. then use the git
--format-patch option as explained here:

https://ariejan.net/2009/10/26/how-to-create-and-apply-a-patch-with-git/

Then you can send your patch (attached to an email) to the CentOS-Devel
mailing list (https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel)
and I will import it into the git repo and fix the package.
