Hello!

Sorry for the late reply, I was pretty busy last week. An updated
patch is attached!

Done. I needed to tweak the code a bit though to get it to work and to
prevent flagging valid C headers as errors with org lint.

Done, I also replaced the other uses of 'org-entry-get' around the one
I modified

I agree, and done :)

Done. I'm not sure if it went in the right place and if it's formatted
correctly though, so can you give that a look over to make sure it

Thanks again for taking the time to review this for me :D

Let me know if you spot anything fishy or wrong.

Also, RE: Copyright, this is the form I need to send, correct?
