Hi Bernhard, the patch looks fine to me. if the bug is bumped to grave (and there are reasons to do so); I have done point updates in the past and it is straightforward, if you have already opened the bug / done the upload then OK, otherwise I can do either of the two (for example if they are OK with teh bug I can do the upload with your commit).
