Thanks for your patience. I'd like to make a release in the next few weeks, and it'd be good to include this. Your contribution is large enough that it requires copyright paperwork. Here are pointers: http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/HACKING#n470 Can you do that? Also, any new feature like this should be accompanied by an addition to the test suite that exercises it. Would you like to write that?
