You need to come to emacs-devel. Second best option is to put it on emacs-bugs. Just say that you are proposing a patch and would like to have it as part of Emacs. Folks there will do the rest. If you are new (or relatively new) to that list someone would respond very quickly so that you feel quite welcome. But as time progresses - as you become a old timer - you may have to wait anywhere from few days to few months for someone to turn attention to your work. Emacs repo is quite big. I suggest that you use git (and not bzr) for cloning your repo. You can find instructions here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GitForEmacsDevs Remember you don't need to clone the repo for proposing a patch. You download JUST the relevant file from the Web Interface. You make a copy of it and make changes to it. And then submit the diff between the files. emacs-devel: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel emacs-bugs: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bugs emacs-sources. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-emacs-sources/ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.sources You can more information about emacs and the mailing list in this page. http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs https://savannah.gnu.org/bzr/?group=emacs
