Patches attached to bug reports cannot be accepted into Qt for legal reasons 
(something to do with the dual licensing, property rights and liability).

But becoming a contributor is really easy:

You just need GIT and a Gerrit account (you can create it yourself, you just 
have to accept the contributor agreement).
