Yes, the mercurial repository is only local.
To my knowledge (but other people might know better) the usual
procedure to get something into the Sage release is as follows:
* make your local changes, run "sage -b" to rebuild, test it etc.
* do hg_sage.commit(), in order to inform mercurial that you really
want these changes
* with hg_sage.log(), look up the version number of your changes
* do hg_sage.export(version number, patch name). This produces a text
file explaining your changes (this is the preferred format).
The above was completely local. If you have an account for the sage
trac, then submit the patch created with hg_sage.export there. Of
course, you should describe the purpose of your changes. Of course, if
your patch is a fix of a known bug, it should be attached to the
corresponding old ticket; otherwise, open a new one.
You should also change the description of the ticket: It should start
with [with patch, needs review].
There is a peer review procedure: Hopefully there will be other people
testing you patch and providing a report. If the report is positive
then some authorized person (e.g. Michael Abshoff) might merge your
patch into the Sage distribution and close the ticket.
Yours
Simon
