I see that Sergio is already taking excellent care of you, and we look forward to integrating your patches. One thing probably worth asking is whether you are the author of all the patches that you'll be submitting? If not, I am pretty sure that some form of assignment needs to be done before you can then assign them to the FSF and contribute them to our tree. We'll get help from the FSF if needed.
