His comments:

"I have put in a few patches we have done, a few that have been posted to the newsgroup, and a few others that I know of. There is a page that describes submitting patches, and if anybody has comments they can let me know. Most of the patches currently relate to the 1.2.x version, but I can put up patches for the 2.0.x version as well."
