I'd say, you should simply commit it to CVS yourself.  But, the same
question applies the other way around:  If someone else fixes some bug in
the development version, it may well be that this is something that should
also be fixed in the stable branch.  Maybe we should make it a policy that
not only bug-reports, but also bug-fixes (i. e. even those for which there
was no bug report) are mailed to bug-guile.
