Folks with outstanding patches or new patches in the works:

Please follow the guidelines at http://httpd.apache.org/dev/patches.html

The biggest change is that we ask people to submit patches via the bug database. Some people have been doing this already, but many patches were posted only to the mailing list, didn't receive immediate attention, and were forgotten. Discussion of patches on the mailing list is still fine, but the requirement for a Bugzilla entry is expected to decrease the number of patches which languish forever.

If you already have a patch submitted via a Bugzilla problem report, make sure that the PatchAvailable keyword is enabled for the problem report. This is easy to add to an existing report: Enter "PatchAvailable" in the keywords entry field and submit the change.

Meanwhile, we need to scour Bugzilla for patches associated with open PRs that don't have the PatchAvailable keyword specified.
