These facilities include the CVS repository, Bugzilla bug reporting system, mailing lists and newsgroups. If you try to contribute something to an Eclipse Foundation project committer through another mechanism (e.g. private e-mail) and you intend to contribute it to the Eclipse Foundation, you will probably be asked to either send it through a newsgroup, mailing list or bug report, or to confirm in some other way that you are submitting it under the Terms of Use.
