I think *anybody* should submit patches to SF first unless you are
100% sure that the patch fixes the problem in an undebatable way, and
perhaps unless it is you.

Being able to say "this is fine, please check it in (replacing the C++
style comment with a C style comment)" already helps reducing the load
on the reviewer.

Unless the new contributors are very careful, I'm sure they will break
the CVS sooner or later. Unless this happens a week before the 2.3
release, I have no problem with that.
