That'd be great.

Heh, true.

Sure!

Like many other Haskell projects, we manage the source code with darcs:

http://darcs.net/

There's info there on how to use it:
http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/GettingStarted

But basically, once you've got darcs installed you get the Gtk2Hs
source:

darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/gtk2hs/

You make the changes you want with your ordinary text editor. Then you
'record' the changes you've made:

darcs record

Then darcs will prompt you for which changes you want to include in the
patch and then for a name for the patch. You can also include a longer
comment with the patch in addition to the one line name.

You can record one or more patches and when you want to send them in,
you use:

darcs send

This does assume that your local sendmail command works. If you've not
got local mail set up you can use:

darcs send --output=3Dblah.patch

and then send in that file as an attachment using your normal email
client.

That's it! Well, that's the basics at least. There is much more
documentation on the darcs website.
