I am sorry, the post from Frank bennett was private for me
as for Kicad developer. But I think I am not the person who can
answer such questions.
So I can only retranslate this questions to Kicad developers forum.

kicad /help/about/developers - I was a little hurt to see my name
   didn't make the short list, (even if I only added eeschema/backAnno)

EEschema, pcbnew - NICE look!!!
-new icons look great
-open places - it might be nice (for new users) to see the installed
  demos as a selection (PATH='.' is there,right?)
-demos I see missing a favorite "kit-dev-coldfire-xilinx_5213"
  even though it's checked in and working. Are demos our only set of
  regression tests? It would be nice to have a "user contrib designs,
  symbols, footprints libs" site somewhere...results from something
  like a open hardware project taking a modified panda board forward.

So if I want to fix "demos/CMakeLists.txt" and maybe the Kicad/file/open
what is greenie developer suspose to do? in addition to how_to_compile.txt,
which was hard to find, I think we need a how_to_summit_simple_changes.txt!
or bzr, developer tricks:
  How do I know which files I have changed or added to my local depot?
  (like 'svn st') or about to submit...I guess I'm just missing the svn,
  sf.net development mode of operation!
