My impression has always been that this list is for discussing the
docs in general and the ruby-doc.org site, but when you have an actual
patch, I think you're supposed to submit directly to the ruby-core ML.

That way, anyone there can submit your patch. Then, over time, after
you've submitted a bunch of good patches, my guess is that they'll
eventually tire of committing your patches for you, and start making
you do it yourself. :)
