I have done all the relevant testing myself.  All I want is someone to
set it to positive_review, and maybe look over the actual changes to
make sure they make sense.  If they want to do further testing that's
up to them but really all I care about at this point is someone
setting postivie_review so it can go to the buildbots for further
testing, and then be merged and get still more testing by users, as
with any other ticket.  I believe it will solve a bug many users are
having, and if there are any unintended side-effects they can be dealt
with as they come (but I doubt it).
