Bug submission process

I found some information regarding how to submit a bug fix:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/tutorial-tasks-filesets-properties.html#contribute

Navigation to this was not easy
Main site http://ant.apache.org/
Click on "Manual" under "Documentation"
Click on "Developing with Ant"
Click on Tasks using Properties, Filesets & Paths
Click on Contribute the new task

This seems to coincide with the comments I saw on some of the bugs in bugzilla. The submitter puts a "delta" file directly into the bug rather than checking the change into subversion. Seems pretty awkward. If someone else makes a change to an overlapping portion of the code before the submitter's fix is applied, then whoever accepts the bug would have a difficult merge on their hands.
