In general, to get me interested in your patch you need:

 1. To have a clearly defined, explained, demonstrable problem or
feature request.
 2. To have tested this patch and provide enough information to allow me
to test it.
 3. To have documented using phpdoc any new functions you are adding.
 4. For all the above to be on trac.

Things that make you patch even more appealing:

 1. A history of good contributions to the community
 2. Constructive response to feedback.

Cheers
