It will be fine if you upload patches somethere and give us URLs.
Your changes will be never commited to CVS until you produce patches.
It is not too hard to produce patches and it saves a lot of time for
developers because it is more clear what is changed.
On other hand I will never download too tarballs just to see 
differences. It will take some days to download over 33.6 Kbod modem.
And don't use zip, please.  This one is not from Unix world.

Anyway it is good to see new contributors here.  Go ahead, and we will help.
