If this involves submitting patches, where do I start? Where can I find a
list of bugs for which patches are sought?
Thanks.

Yes, that's a good place to start. You will also want to read several
pages on http://www.apache.org/dev/, including "How the ASF Works,"
"Introduction for Contributors," and more.

I found the location of the bug database at ASF Bugzilla. This is a place to
start?

Have you read the materials at http://www.apache.org/dev? If not,
please do. If you have, please list your specific questions so we can
answer them, and hopefully document the answers.
To look at the above:
1. How to commit? Answered in www.apache.org/dev. Summary: send
patches through the issue tracking system, we will review them and
commit them. You can't commit yourself until you're a committer, by
definition.
2. What is Tomcat's definition of patch? Same as virtually every
other software project out there in the world. It's a set of changes
to one or more files in the Tomcat source code repository, represented
usually as text diffs from the existing versions in the repository.
Again, answered at www.apache.org/dev.

Well, some times ago I under-went the same sought for answers,
on:
How to commit?
What is Tomcat's definition of patch?
(wrt changed or new source code) etc.
It brought me to just using substantial improvements
in a very limited scope of users.
I'm a bit consoled, seeing not to be the only
(stupid) one who can't find the answers easily.
Sincerely
Albrecht
To sum it up: A manual "How to become co-developper" would be a
great help.

I'm not sure exactly what is invovled in becoming a committer for Tomcat,
but it generally involves submitting patches, and when the amount you
submitted becomes extensive/large, then you are offered an SVN account.
