In these cases, please just 10 10 * Fix the code 11 * Use `git send-email`, or just mail a patch to [mailto: cvs-ghc@haskell.org]. Make sure you include in the patch description a summary of what the problem is, and the nature of your fix.11 * Use `git send-email`, or just mail a patch to [mailto:ghc-devs@haskell.org].

It is often helpful to give a small example code fragment that demonstrates the need for your fix. This isn't always relevant; sometimes you are fixing a plain error, but often it's more subtle than that.[[BR]][[BR]]
