I don't always remember how to create a patch, either, but I do remember where to go to get the short instructions to do so in case I forget. In case you are curious, the process for creating a patch is documented here, under the heading "Developing and submitting patches to Clojure and Clojure Contrib". This page is linked to from the contributing and patches pages you give links for in your message.
http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/JIRA+workflow On my screen it is about 2 1/2 screenfuls. If you would prefer not to go through those steps, I understand, but it isn't terribly arcane.
