Or if you prefer using SVN you could just

 * Log in to GitHub web interface and go to
   https://github.com/voikko/corevoikko
 * Click "Fork" at the upper right corner and wait until the repository has
   been forked
 * Run
     svn co https://github.com/ftyers/corevoikko/trunk corevoikko
   to check out your forked copy with SVN.
 * Now you can do SVN commits in this repository just as you would normally
   do.
 * Once you think your changes are ready to be merged, point your web browser
   at https://github.com/ftyers/corevoikko, make sure you are logged in and
   click the grey "Pull request" icon just above your latest commit message.
   Follow the instructions to review and send the pull request.

I will receive an email about your pull request. I can then merge it with a 
single mouse click.

For this workflow you don't even need push access to the repository so there 
is no risk of accidentally breaking anything. I think this is also quite 
convenient. If you use SVN elsewhere and Git in one project you start soon 
mixing the commands. I suffer from this as I still have to use SVN at work...
