Yes, that would be the best way. Luckily most developers are also on the 
vlc@ list.

Just a side note. The development team likes the patches in the form of 
diff's against the original code. If you use subversion, then you can 
just type (under linux), e.g:
svn diff modules/dvb/dvb.c > dvb.patch

and sent the resulting patch file to the vlc-devel list.
