I don't know, but it should be.

On most open source projects there is a lead who collects patches and applies 
them as they see fit.   They generally
keep a public patch repository so everyone can see what has been submitted.

I'm not sure how the owners of this project want to handle it (it would be nice 
to know, hint hint)

I might suggest that the source forge project:

1) switch to subversion
2) create several branches

        trunk - main code
        experimental
        release

3) allow more open checkins to the experimental branch

(one nice thing about "git" is that it make this sort of thing really easy)

With this sort of branching it would be easy to control what got into the trunk.

And it seems like there would be no harm in running an experimental branch and 
having someone
who has free time add patches as they see fit...

At a minimum it would be nice to have one place where people could put their 
patches.

Maybe Jason (a.k.a. neozeed) could set that up?
