You're quite right in general. I had hoped that the frequency with which I do offer patches would make it obvious that I'm aware of that too. In this case, I'm currently two deep in a (dependent) stack of gnulib patches and have hit an issue I am not confident I fully understand that seems to require a trivial patch which it would take rather less time for a committer to prepare than it would to review, correct & push when received from me. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
