Welcome Günter on board, I really like that you took this step! If you did not do it already please read lib/doc/Development.lyx for some guidelines. The general rule for committing can be summarized as "commit if the fix is obvious and uncontroversal, for bigger changes or if in doubt first ask on the list".
