Sorry for asking a stupid question, but I didn't see the answer to this
clearly posted anywhere.

I see a lot of people submitting patches here, myself included (that's why I
joined the list!). What's the process for submitting patches? Some specific
questions:

    - unified or contextual diffs?
    - patch as inline, attachment, or URL?
    - subject line saying [PATCH]?
    - when can we expect some sort of deny/accept/revise feedback? (24
hours, 1 week, or "never - just check CVS" are all acceptable answers)

I just want to help make sure that the efforts of myself and others who are
trying to help Ethereal is best used, that patches don't fall between the
cracks, and that the process is as smooth as possible for the Ethereal
maintainers.

Cheers,
 David Weekly
