### Description

Hi,

We are building an open-source custom Hebrew/Arabic analyzer (lemmatizer and stopwords), based on a BERT model. We'd like to contribute this to this repository. How can we do that and be accepted? Can we compile it to native code and use JNI or [Panama ](https://openjdk.org/projects/panama/)? If not, what is the best approacch?

@uschindler would be very happy to hear what you think
