You could wait, or you could contribute a more meaningful fix. I don't mean to make light of the many contributions that have been offered recently, but a very high percentage of them are for trivial problems that we would generally rate as low or very low priority. As such, most of us have higher priority things to work on. Longer term, the good news is that we are working on opening up our development practices so that eventually (I can't say how long, but at least several months) helpful people like you can offer fixes directly rather than indirectly (i.e., you will be able to file an RTI and do a putback yourself rather than needing a sponsor). As we think this will result in a more satisfying result for everyone, we are focusing on fixing this bigger problem rather than on getting people to sponsor lots of little fixes. Please be patient while we try to drive this larger change. -- John http://blogs.sun.com/jbeck
