Clearly the future of XFree86 is very murky right now, as many developers have left to work on other projects such as freedesktop.org, and now with the core team disbanded it is unclear exactly how companies such as SciTech or vendors such as ATI, Via, SiS etc who do not have direct connections with someone on the XFree86 committer list can get their patches into XFree86. From what I can tell basically nothing has really changed and it is just as difficult as before to get submissions into XFree86 (witness the problems of the Cygwin developers getting their patches accepted).
Submissions should be made via bugs.xfree86.org. New work should be discussed here in advance. This has been the submission policy since bugs.xfree86.org was setup, and it applies to individuals and companies alike. Anyone looking to short-circuit this public submission mechanism and the public review that goes with it will be disappointed.
Interesting interpretation of how bugs.xfree86.org has been used historically. Hmm... I recall a slightly different reality:

Oops, well, try again next time.
