Wasn't trying to submit a _bug_; surely there's enough of them already! :^) It 
was a patch for an extremely minor feature enhancement.

If patches should go to openafs-bugs@openafs.org (along with bug reports), then 
maybe changing the text to "Submit a Bug Report/Patch" would help. I know you 
need to keep the verbiage down or the nav bar loses it brevity.

It may be surprising to you regular contributors and maintainers just how 
intimidating it can be for the average programmer/user who occasionally dips 
into code to scratch up the chootspa necessary to submit his first patch right 
out in public where God and everybody can see it. I know of at least one 
programmer who's sitting on a fix because he's not sure what to do with it and 
not really convinced it would matter to anybody. His bad, but making the patch 
submission process obvious and inviting probably wouldn't hurt.

I'll stop babbling now so you all can get back to creating more great code. Cheers,
