becoming a dev

Hey, I'm interested in becoming a dev for Fire, and I'm wondering what 
I need to do to become one. I've already have some code that I would 
like to contribute - but obviously the Fire CVS repository doesn't 
accept anonymous commits. Basically, it always annoyed me that if you 
set up custom Aliases for your MSN buddies, you lose all ability to 
view the nicknames that they've manually set (the ones that show up in 
the standard MSN client). This is actually something which already has 
a few entries on the bugtracker/wishlists on sourceforge. So I got 
annoyed enough to download the Fire source, mess with it, and build my 
own copy for personal use. My changes are pretty straight forward - I 
basically duplicated the displayName instance variable in the BuddyItem 
class, along with its basic methods, naming the new one 
updatedDisplayName. Then I went to the code that sets the displayName 
on an update (only if the user has a pref checked), and made it also 
set the updatedDisplayName to the updated name regardless of user 
prefs, so that version on our side will always be current to what the 
server sends as updates. Then I messed with the displaying in buddies 
window and tooltip to include the updated name. Anyways, in my opinion 
this should be in the main version of Fire, since at least a few users 
have asked for this ability. How can I contribute this change to the 
main Fire and/or maybe become a dev on the Fire team?
