We generally discuss stuff like this at our weekly dev meetings on irc.

I personally do not know how to apply an SVN diff against Git.  Or at least I 
have not tried to see if it will work (pretty sure patch can apply diffs 
produced by SVN).  

The other option you have is to move the work over to a GitHub fork of the 
main hibernate repo, reapply your changes (either copy them in place or using 
patch from the svn diff) and then commit them to your fork; you'd then initiate 
a pull request to us.  This is the better option.  And even though it sounds 
like a lot of work, It probably really is not.  I can help you on irc if you 
run into problems (#hibernate-dev on freenode), or the folks on github irc 
(#guithub on freenode) can help too I am sure
