I think the short answer right now to this and to Joshua's original 
question is: to submit a patch do what has always been done, i.e. send 
the patch to the mailing list. You can also add the patch to the list on 
the wiki, but if you don't, it won't be forgotten.

All the rest is for reviewers/committers.

I've been wondering idly and probably pointlessly if we should try 
adopting something like the methodology of the Usenet Oracle, which, if 
you ask it a question will usually send you one to answer in return. 
Obviously we can't always do that, but maybe we should be asking people 
who are obviously competent enough (judging by the quality and 
complexity of the patches they submit) to step up to the plate more on 
reviewing patches. No amount of process will substitute for more reviewers.
