In answer to your subject heading question: to suggest a patch, send an
email to the package maintainer (as listed in the DESCRIPTION file).
Your suggestion will get a better reception if you offer sample
code/data to illustrate the problem, and a nicely written patch to the
sources to fix it. (From your description below, it sounds as though
you want to change the args to a function, so you'll need to patch the
.Rd file for that function too.)
Pay attention to the effect of your changes on existing code. Code that
works now should not be broken by your change if it is at all possible
to avoid that.

Hi I believe I have long time solution to the problems with the
read.spss() funtion.
In non-ascii locales the import of spss files into R has consistently
produced errors and sometimes wouldn't allow import at all.
I've made a custom version of the read.spss() function that appear to
solve the problem for good. I may of course be wrong here.
I believe the problem is that read.spss() tries to guess the codepage of
the incoming spss file. In some (many?) non-ascii locales it mostly gets
it wrong. The simple solution is to give the user the option to
specifically tell read.spss() which codepage to expect and which
codepage to translate to.
