RE: [PEAR-DEV] commiting bug fixes to other peoples packages (was RE: [PEAR-DEV] #25060 [NEW]: Math_Integer/Integer/gmp.php uses raisError () instead

I remember somebody telling me that people who have CVS should be able to commit things. If the maintainer don't like it, cvs is there for a purpose, you can always revert. That said if there are patches waiting for maintainer feedback and no is provided for a length of time then i think it's ok to commit. There will be no release anyway so that won't affect people.
