JIRA is here:

http://wso2.org/jira/browse/REGISTRY

You can create yourself a login, and then you should be able to open an 
issue and attach your patch file to it.  Can't wait to see it!

It should be, yes.  FYI, please note that we have not yet quite 
succeeded in getting the RemoteRegistry/AtomRegistry to work with the 
APP protocol we want (example - we POST to "/wso2registry/newResource" 
in order to create a new resource instead of POSTing to "/wso2registry" 
with a Slug header of "newResource").  It's on my list to get that 
moving forward soon.

Have a look at the APPTests class - that's going to be a remote registry 
exerciser which only uses HttpClient, not RemoteRegistry, to make sure 
the protocol works as it should.
