I don't know if there is a specific document but you have a choice.

1. Use diff to work out the differences between the base version and your changes
2. Or just post the code and how to make it work.

If it's verified by a developer with CVS access, they can just commit it for
you. But posting allows other people to test, which is always a good thing.

Remember, make sure the code is readable and clear. Document any sections
not obvious. Some poor schmoe might need to debug it later :)
