You are familiar with the SourceForge "patch" site, aren't you?  What you are 
proposing is a slightly bigger fix and hence requires some consideration.  Often 
smaller patches submitted through discussion can go to CVS as a no-brainer. 
However, in the case of larger patches, SourceForge is nice for maintaining 
gradual development, both for other developers and yourself.  You can come back 
to it whenever you have the free time.  (Consider creating a SourceForge account.)
