Actually, I can assure you that the Bugzilla also gets neglected in the
kernel community.  In general, the best way to submit patches is to send
them to this list, with [PATCH] in the subject.  I've vaccuumed up most
of those in the past, and will do another pass when I switch to master
after (eventually) releasing 1.4.1.

Cheers,
