According to the page you have linked above
"You should now have files in the working directory named as
0001-<commit>.patch and 0002-<commit>.patch etc; These files should be
emailed to the centos-devel list as attachments ( ie, not inline in
the email body ). Include information about what change you are
requesting and if needed include information on bugs.centos.org that
points to the list archive page that has your email from
http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel."

I've never done that, so beyond that, hopefully someone else can explain.
