Hi!

Thanks for your patch!

... and thank-you also for the chance to improve our documentation!

Alexey rightly pointed you to http://wiki.darcs.net/Using/Send

I've since updated it to mention the one stumbling block that affects
new contributers to Darcs: anti-spam moderation.  We operate a policy
similar to that used on our mailing lists.  If you have not submitted
an issue or a patch before, your mail will held for approval by a
human moderator.  Subsequent patches and issues from you will go through
straight away.  I wish I could improve on this because it trips a lot
of people up and it's really frustrating when you've got that first
patch out the door.  But I don't know how else to keep the spammers at
bay!  Ideas welcome.

(Incidentally, there is also a section on the developer FAQ [1],
but it just points you to that page)
