Great, thanks!

Just to complete the Minh's answer (thanks Minh!) for this particular mission:
You probably want to start by browsing through:
http://combinat.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/categories/primer.html
to get the general picture about categories.
For the rest, this review is a bit specific: you can skip the
technical part of the review (checking that the patch applies
smoothly, pass tests, ...); this part will be done at once for all the
category code once the mathematical review will be finished.
So you can focus on looking at the code, doc, and tests in the files
mentioned in:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/wiki/CategoriesCategoriesReview
possibly simply by browsing:
http://combinat.sagemath.org/hgwebdir.cgi/code/file/tip/sage/categories)
and make sure they makes sense.
You may want to actually install the patch with sage -combinat install
to play around with it and/or create a reviewer patch.
Feel free to ask for further help!
Best regards,
Nicolas
