 Ok, thanks for the clarification.  That is worth calling out in the

Is the https://github.com/twisted/twisted-iocpsupport repository subject to
the same rules as the Twisted core repository such as:
- must have a Trac ticket
- PR can only be merged after review approval from a reviewer with write
access to the https://github.com/twisted/twisted-iocpsupport repository.
etc.?
