Normally you should fork the repository, make the changes to your fork, then do a Pull Request (meaning you request that the official libretro people look at your proposed changes and then decide to pull it in or not). In this case it's not necessarily a simple thumbnail change, the issue is that the database is using the same Game/Rom ("Japan, USA") I assume because the publisher used a multi-language same file in different regions but with different box art. I don't know if uploading a region specific thumbnail will work without a background database update to go with it.

I did this, and I did it intentionally. The first one you say is "JP" is just the regular game, 1080 Snowboarding (Japan, USA) (En,Ja). Same file for USA and JP. I chose the US box because that's what most people using retroarch are going to prefer, and the most common file people will have. The second one you say is USA ,1080 Snowboarding (USA) (En,Ja) (LodgeNet), has "Lodgenet" at the end. I took this to mean it's some kind of beta version. When there's shared regions, I give USA priority, and if there's any other version of the game, like a beta or demo, I use alternate region box art, just so it's on here and available in case someone wants to use it. This happens all the time for regular Gameboy, but those are usually marked (World). Why Japan is listed before USA is beyond me.

Upon researching this, it looks like Lodgenet refers to a special model of N64 that was put into hotels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Gateway_System
