Hey Anthony, Great question. We do have "Code Submission and Integration" guidelines written up on the wiki:
http://wiki.basho.com/Code-Submission-and-Integration.html (They were, admittedly, a touch out of date, so I just updated them to reflect the current process.) More specifically, a pull request via GitHub is our preferred method of code contribution. As that link also points out, patches sent to the mailing list and submission via issues.basho.com are also both acceptable. On a general note, we've seen a marked increase in the number of pull requests over the last few months (keep them coming!) and this, combined with internal efforts to build out new features and fix some long standing issues, has resulted in a bit of a back log. That said, we're working on them. I can personally assure you that each and every pull request submitted to date is in our review queue. I'll endeavor to make sure each new submission is acknowledged with a comment or email response by myself or another committer. (It's I who is slacking on this. Apologies.) Lastly, I have it on my list of medium and long term TODOs to work with the dev team make our code submission and integration process more transparent and expeditious where possible; it works, but there are a few areas in which we can improve. The last thing we want to do is stifle contributions by being unresponsive. Thanks for your contributions. And definitely email me or the list with further suggestions/comments/questions.
