David's process will work fine. I'll accept whole files of patches
or individual file patches provided they 
 (a) are in -Naur format
 (b) are reasonably well documented
 (c) are against the latest tla version
 (d) fit into the system

Since I hand review and apply every change it might happen that your
patch gets rewritten to work in a different fashion. The -Naur file
format gives me enough information to find every individual change.
