You can find the linux-igd forums here[1], I guess 'Help' is the better place to
post messages.

Regarding issues/patches there is the project Tracker[2], you can use 'Bugs' or
'Patches' respectively.

There are a couple of developers with commit access to the CVS, but they of
course work on the project on a volunteer basis. So, you can't tell when they'll
be available to review and merge you patch.

You mean you can't check out the code ? Or that you can not commit your changes?

If the former, then there are good instructions here[3].

If the later, then it is normal. You can't! Only the developers[4] of the
project can ;-)

My patch is against an older version and would not apply cleanly on 1.0.

This would be wrong. It would effectively disable all other checks in case that
desc is not NULL.

To be honest, I actively worked with igd a lot time ago. Back then I didn't
notice such crashes, but never got the chance to extensively test the current
version.
