This depends on the developer. I usually just make the changes myself
if they are minor, especially if it's someone's first submission. But
I comment on any deficiencies and if the same ones are present in the
next submission I'll make the patch submitter make the needed changes.

Post a new patch, preferably with the same name but with a version
number attached. I use -v1.patch, -v2.patch, etc.
