I am not sure how to properly submit this. Do I follow the practice for bzr here http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Bazaar#Test_branches_before_committing_merges and simply merge my fix (without a need for someone to review)?
For small changes/fixes, you can also file a bug report (please include info about OS/platform and Inkscape version/revision in the description), with a brief summary of the encountered issue (maybe a test case) and the proposed solution, and attach a diff against latest trunk (generated with bzr) to the bug report for review/testing:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+filebug
To create a diff of changes to your local branch (not committed), you can use e.g. this bazaar command:
$ bzr diff path/to/modified/file_or_directory > fix_this_issue.diff
Working with branches and merge proposals might often be preferred or more useful for larger changes (e.g. affecting many files), or for fixes which themselves have important commit history (merging bazaar branches will keep that history intact).
