I have a copy of cvs 1.6 working on postgresql and would like to submit patches. The website says I should ask for CVS access, which I am comfortbale with, though I am also comfortable submitting patches if there is someone/place specific I should be sending them too. Thanks in advance.
The best place to submit patches is in our bugzilla: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/
I don't know what website recommends that first-time patch submitters ask for CVS commit access, but that doesn't sound very likely. :)

"When you have a feature ready to go, press for CVS write access, so that you can commit it. Posting patches can be frustrating, although you may have to do it once or twice to demonstrate good faith."
There's some other verbage on there that is more specific, but I've read that general take in a few other spots too; no worry though, I'll get with the Matt & Co on irc. Thanks Brion.
