Either send them to the mailing list or submit a bugzilla with the patch 
as an attachment.  I think the later is better for larger patches, esp. 
when a release is close.

Like with most open-source projects:  prove your worth, then ask. :)

I /think/ either Egbert Eich or Hui Yu.  I'm not 100% sure.  I suppose 
that's one thing that the various drivers could really use.  Each driver 
should clearly list the maintainer (if there is one) in the header of 
the *_driver.c file.  This is, of course, above and beyond listing the 
authors.
