All emails about bug reports get sent to the mailing-list bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, so yes it will be seen by those who subscribe to this list. You can also explicitly add a `Cc:` if you want input from someone in particular (e.g. I don't subscribe to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org any more, so if you want my input on a particular bug, make sure I'm in the `Cc:`). > - What's the best way of moving from fixing small things, onto > adding/modifying larger parts of how Emacs works?

Beside Eli's answer, you might also get ideas from discussions (where members of emacs-devel may be able to help you move from a local problem to a more far-reaching solution). Stefan
