For the last 9 months I have been programming mediawiki customizations for my company. Would it possible for me to submit a patch to the core mediawiki code?
I have identified a bug in HTMLFileCache.php. One of the member variables is not properly set early enough, and if extension code is written in a certain way, the cache code will crash. I lost an entire week to this bug. I almost gave up, were it not for prodding from others in my company.
As a second question, if I am allowed to submit a patch who would submit such a patch to?
Patches should be submitted at bugzilla.wikimedia.org. However, we tend to be pretty poor at actually reviewing submitted patches, so it would probably help if you send a message to this list with the bug link, and (failing that) poke people in irc://irc.freenode.org/mediawiki until someone gives up and reviews it.
