There is no formal procedure in place right now. We have a branch (mob) where 
everybody can commit. My take on this is that it depends on your own confidence 
and the history of your past commit to tcc. I encourage people that don't have 
much experience in compilation or coding in general to go through patch 
review. This process is currently slow as we are very few reviewer with not 
much time but we do try our best.

Otherwise, you can commit directly but if there is a high number of problems 
with your commits, especially if it's trivial errors, it will be expected that 
you go through patch review until the quality of your patch improve.

Given your experience in compilation (disclaimer: we work in the same company 
and already met), I'd say just go ahead and commit to mob. Of course you are 
welcome to post for public review first if you want to make sure your patch 
follows tcc code style and use the right internal API for instance.

For what it's worth (my review skills are still modest), the patch looks good 
to me.

Best regards,

Thomas
