Please send it to this list for several reasons:
- it's our job to manage the documentation
- we are in documentation freeze since a few days, see 
https://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.2_Release_Schedule#November_25th.2C_2008:_Documentation.2FHandbook_Freeze
 so it is not possible to commit your work to trunk at the moment. But if \
your  changes are in the list archive, someone can pick it up and commit it \
when it  is possible.
- the general rule is no docbook updates for minor releases (x.y.z) without \
 permission from the translators (kde-i18n-doc@kde.org). 
Reason for that is that a change of one char in a docbook makes it \
impossible  for many teams to generate their translated language docbooks.
But don't worry, I am confident to get your updates into 4.2.2, maybe even 
into the 4.2.1 release.
I have managed a lot of documentation backports in 3.5.y, 4.0.y and 4.1.y; \
and  I will do backports for 4.2.y too.
As I am the documentation coordinator in the german translation team, I \
should  know how to handle this.
