Brad,
 This exact question was posed to the Rails Core team at the Q and A
session at RailsConf.  Basically the anwser was:

1) Include documentation and describe WHY this needs to be done.
2) Include tests
3) Make the patch small if possible.

I think there were a few more things mentioned but that is all I can
recall off the top of my head.

Hope this helps,

Zack

I think quite a few of us have been lurking on rails-core waiting for
our pet patches to come through. The actual commit process seems rather
opaque after a ticket is put into Trac.

Would one of the core team members care to take a few minutes and
explain how the process of getting a patch accepted works? Some tips on
rails-core etiquette would be appreciated, also. It seems like many of
us are anxious to get feedback (positive or negative) on our patches,
but don't want to seem pushy by posting to the list every time we put
something in Trac.

I realize you guys are busy -- thanks!
