You send a mail with a subject line that begins with
 [FIX]
to this list. The subject should also give a short description
of the fix. For details about tags that we use on this list, you
may wish to read this page:

Fixes are reviewed by volunteers and finally accepted for
inclusion into the image. Details are described at page
