I posted this patch in September. It seems it was forgotten. I posted it
again on April 30th, nothing yet. I also have another patch thats been
sitting on the list for a few weeks now after having a discussion and a
positive response. I'd like to do a git pull and find my patches applied
at some point, and I'm wondering if/when that will happen. And is there
anything I can do to help?
