Yes, I remember applying a number of patches you submitted to us then, such as http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/log/?qt=author&q=esr > I'm requesting commit access to the X repo so that nobody else > will have to pore through this boring crap in order to apply it. That seems reasonable to me, given you've already had a number of such patches applied to our repos and are generally known to enough of our developers. If you already have a freedesktop.org account, we can ask the admins to add the xorg group to your list to get access to our git repos as well. If not, then you'll need to submit PGP & SSH keys to get an account created, as described on: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests If you file the bug against the xorg product, I'll see it, add the ack and assign to the sysadmins to go in their queue for creation. Our git usage guidelines (very much like the Linux kernel, especially around things like Signed-off-by) are posted at: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches We don't require review before pushing for simple doc updates for most modules - however a couple of our modules have maintainers who request all changes be sent to them via git send-email or the equivalent and they will then apply the fix. Most notably the xserver module, but also the vmware & vmmouse driver modules. The maintainers for each module are listed in: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/doc/xorg-docs/tree/MAINTAINERS (Though it looks like we fail to spell out there that xserver patches go to kei...@keithp.com to be applied.
