But there is a page about contributing to libtool here: http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/contribute.html The minimum requirement for a patch to be accepted is approximately: fixes a problem you are experiencing on your host, passes visual inspection by one of the maintainers, causes no regressions on the committers host.
