Thanks for your explanation. I do understand the process now, and I'll certainly follow it for future contributions.

That said, I don't really understand why a report like this is any different than submitting source code or documentation to a project then posting it to Utopian after it's been pulled into the repository. This issue hasn't been duplicated on Utopian and I clearly did the work, so what's the big deal?

I took care to read all of the rules and FAQs on the site, and this process was not spelled out clearly. How do I go about contributing to these documents to help others get it right the first time?
