The proper policy is:

*) send it to UML maintainers (i.e. Jeff Dike and me) and this mailing list. 
Experienced developers also CC LKML (i.e. linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org) but 
newcomers should let us filter your ideas - LKML is not very friendly for 
newcomers if they don't follow the rules (but general ones and 

*) make sure to generate an unified diff patch, with -p to show c functions 
names for increased readability (like diff -Npur a/ b/), possibly which 
applies with -p1 (we'll handle failures about -p1, probably not about the 
rest).

*) (possibly) read LKML faq for patch submission for general rules. I suggest 
attaching it with 7-bit encoding (rather than quoted-printable) and 
text/plain MIME type.

Please don't include it in the mail since it only works with text-based MUAs, 
and with very few (if any) graphical MUAs with special care. To do that we 
use special tools in fact.
