How to share mod-files/attribute-files with other modders?

The best way to phrase this request is through a real-life example

Suppose we have two people, let's name them Miragefla and Mr.Smith:
- Miragefla is the curator of a very well-known CoH2 overhaul mod
- Mr.Smith is tinkering with some minor changes which might be of interest to Miragefla
- Mr.Smith is also tinkering with multiple smaller mods (since the changes are orthogonal to each other)
- At some point Mr.Smith wishes to put all smaller mods together into a bigger one, and share that with Miragefla

1. Is there any way for Mr.Smith to merge the smaller mods into a bigger one?
- Assume no two mods touch the same unit/ability file.

2. What is the best way for Mr.Smith to give Miragefla access to the same mod, so that Miragefla can also see and modify them?
- i.e., what are the source code files Mr.Smith can send to Miragefla, so that he can also have a look?

1. If you had access to the source code of those mods, you could try copying the instance folder (or .xml files in it) to the bigger mod.

2. You could use GitHub (www.github.com) to share your source code with other people and they could submit Pull Requests that you could approve and then merge.
