sounds reasonable to me ;)
if you start at
* httpd.apache.org
click on "Developer Info" under Get Involved
click on "code patches" under Feedback and contributions
the section "Submitting your Patches" mentions this very problem
but from
* apr.apache.org
click on "Contributing" under Guidelines to get to information on patches
but the "Submitting your Patches" section does not suggest creating a
bugzilla PR to make sure it is noticed
Any folks mind if I update the APR "Submitting your Patches" section to use
text similar to that at
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/patches.html
???
