I might be wrong, but I have the impression that the most effective
route for patches is via a pull request:

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/dev/gitwash/development_workflow.html#asking-for-your-changes-to-be-merged-with-the-main-repo

- especially if your changes include a test which will fail for the
broken behavior.

Best,
