I would be pleased to review your patch when it is ready; the usual 
process is to submit patches (of sufficient quality) that a committer or 
module maintainer nominates you for commit access.

Thank you for reading the developers guide; you will find the interfaces 
for styling to be a little bit in flux as we gradually adopt additional 
constructs from the SE 1.1 specification.
