We can use trivial patches without assignment; if we want to use a larger one we'll ask you for an assignment. The file etc/CONTRIBUTE in the CVS has more details. http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/etc/CONTRIBUTE?root=emacs&view=markup > Does, for example, f90.el or tex-mode.el have specific maintainers > that I should talk to? Me for the former, but it's much better to post to one of the mailing lists rather than direct to the maintainer (who is usually listed at the start of the .el file)
