You can commit the change yourself, if you have commit access.

However, every change needs a ChangeLog entry. You will also have to
send the patch through the mailing list, because every change need to be
referenced by the number from the X-Seq: header the mailing list
software adds. That's why the commit messages look like this:

  31465: fix basic completion and globbing uses of disabled patterns

With the corresponding ChangeLog entry looking like this:

[snip]
2013-06-13  Peter Stephenson  <p.w.stephenson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

        󠇨* 31465: Completion/compinit, Src/glob.c, Src/pattern.c: fix
          basic completion and globbing use of pattern disables.
