The procedure is straightforward: Bram M decides whether a patch goes into the vim source. He has some voting going on for different features if you contribute to the Kibaale Children's Centre charity. > Since some of these patches were written for older > versions of vim, there is a danger that they won't be applicable to > future versions of vim.

Presumably others could update some patch they're interested in and make that update available as yet-another-patch. This process could end up making a mess on vim-patches, though.
