First, thank you for wanting to contribute this. Changes that depend
on changes in Pharo are a bit problematic because that requires users
to use an unreleased Pharo version. Then again anything depends on the
specific case. Anyways I still recommend creating an issue even if we
can't merge it for a year (see below).

Ideally you create an issue in our issue tracker [1] and attach the
Seaside related code (ideally in .mcz files).

Maybe. We'll let you know in the comments if something is not OK and
needs to be changed.
