Whats the best way to submit patches? What guidelines should I follow?

• Enter a bug into bugzilla.mozilla.org for the “Bugzilla” product. • Upload your patch as a unified diff (having used “diff -u” against the current sources checked out of CVS), or new source file by clicking “Create a new attachment” link on the bug page you’ve just created, and include any descriptions of database changes you may make, into the bug ID you submitted in step #1. Be sure and click the “Patch” checkbox to indicate the text you are sending is a patch! • Announce your patch and the associated URL (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.pl?id=XXXXXX) for discussion in the newsgroup (netscape.public.mozilla.webtools). You’ll get a really good, fairly immediate reaction to the implications of your patch, which will also give us an idea how well-received the change would be. • If it passes muster with minimal modification, the person to whom the bug is assigned in Bugzilla is responsible for seeing the patch is checked into CVS.
