That would just beg a similar question, i.e., "to whom?"

There are a variety of ways to submit patches and other changes.  They're
not set in stone, and new ones might be introduced or old ones retired
over time.  I think it's best for the Bylaws not to be too specific about
this or other sorts of process issues -- otherwise every time a process
changes we'll have to amend the Bylaws.
