The procedure is the same for both bugs and new features - you may already know 
about the wiki page that describes this, but just in case:

Actually, the policy is now that code in contrib can be java 1.5 (or 1.4) 
compatible.  The 1.4 compatibility requirement applies only to non-contrib 
code.  (Note to self: fix the HowToContribute page to note this fact.)
