Thank you for the links.
I have added the following to the proposal:
"If you would like to provide an example capture file along with
patch, please open a bug in BugZilla and refer to it in the commit
message (... bug 1234 ...). By attaching the capture file to a bug
will automatically become part of the regression suite and your new
code will be tested very often. "
Cheers,
Balint
