Please apologize my query and don't be too angry on me  

I have read the various wiki-entries about FPC now using git and have
searched the forum, but haven't found a useful guide yet. I'd
appreciate if someone could help.

In short: I want to contribute to FPC. The usual git workflow is (as
far as I know) to create a fork, do whatever changes there and finally
send a pull request. Unfortunately I didn't find out how to do that
with FPC? Does FPC accept pull requests at all?

Afaik: fork FPC with your gitlab account, and then pull that locally.

Then push your changes back to your gitlab account, and then use
gitlab to create a pull request.

You can still submit patches to the issue tracker too.

In general yes but not necessarily all  So if you submit a pull
request which replaces begin by { and end by } it will be for sure
rejected.
