With lots of help from this wonderful guide by Owen, I’ve submitted my very first bug fix to the WordPress Trac. I just thought I’d share this with you since I’m so proud of myself. 😀

I know the feeling – but you did this some time ago, so maybe you can help me then..
It seems that Owen’s guide is gone. I did my first bugfix last week and is equally proud, but I am kind of lost when it omes to the correct Trac procedure. Tried to read about the process at the WordPress codex, and did the following:
1. Reported the bug
2. Assigned it to myself
3. Made a diff file with the fix I had
4. Attached it and marked the ticket closed
That was obviously a mistake, because somebody reopened the ticket again and told me I should not do like that.
Now, it has been almost a week and I can see no changes to the ticket – is that normal, or is there something I should do to make sure somebody will notice it and have a look at the code and eventually include it in the trunk?
The ticket is here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9153
Kind regards

Just be patient.
