+`sge` as the password, but there will eventually be a bugs email list.
+The best way to send patches is to record them in your local darcs
+repository and use `darcs send`.  Until arrangements can be made for
+direct contributions, they will be pushed into the main repository by
+hand if they look reasonable.  You could also just mail (see [#contact
+Contact]) normal patches, maybe even against the 6.2u5 source, if you
+have any already, or attach them to a ticket.
+If you record changes with darcs, make the patch name a useful short
+summary of the patch, and include the number of any ticket it fixes in
+the form {{{fix #}}}//N//, where //N// is the ticket number.  If it
+also refers to an item //N// in the sunsource Issuezilla system, it's
+useful to include that also in the form IZ//N// even though the
+imported tickets have that reference.
+When reviewing tickets imported from Issuezilla, note that any
+hyperlinks appearing in the main description are bogus unless they are
+normal URLs, and some of the tickets have the summary messed up due to
+the way they were imported, which is probably not worth fixing now.
