Where to submit core file updates?

from Elemental Forums

While snooping around the core files I found a few things I thought should be updated.

For example the descriptions for the quests Quest_TheLostHorse & Quest_Terrorized_Merchant

The text seemed kind of hastly written and thought I could help by cleaning it up a little.....
