What I usually do when I find a trivial-to-fix bug in GTK+ or GLib is to
file a bug with the fix and then nag the appropriate person in irc. If
I'm not mistaken and the fix is actually as trivial as the one I found,
I usually get positive responses for committing --way faster than
waiting for others to review among tons of bug reports that arrive
daily.

So, I think you should do something similar if you want those patches
committed and the bugs fixed.
