What is the preferred method for submitting patches from upstream projects ? I have two patches for libvirt-0.8.1.el6_0.6. One adds ESX 4.1 support to things like virt-v2v (http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-July/msg00480.html) and the second fixes the broken "virsh snapshot-create" (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727709). All I did really was get them to work with the CentOS 6 version of libvirt.
For the base distro components these would need to come via RH's code. However, if you open issues at bugs.centos.org and offer to maintain the patches, they could go into the same components into the CentOSPlus repo.
