The suggestions:
- Make sure you are reporting bugs or send patches against the latest sources.That usually means code in CVS
- If you think you found a bug make sure it's not already filed in the bugtracker at savannah
- If you have a fix put the patch on Savannah. If it's a patch that affects both core and arch specific
stuff please separate them so that the core can be applied separately while leaving the other patch 'open'

can go to the lwip-users list. This is still the fastest way of interaction and the list is not so crowded
as to allow for loss of fixes. Putting bugs on Savannah and subsequently closing them is too much an overhead
for reporting a compiler warning fix.
- Patches should be specific to a single change or to related changes.Do not mix bugfixes with spelling and other
trivial fixes unless the bugfix is trivial too.Do not reorganize code and rename identifiers in the same patch you
change behaviour if not necessary.A patch is easier to read and understand if it's to the point and short than
if it's not to the point and long :) so the chances for it to be applied are greater.
