Yes, completely agree. I had no expectation that this would be merged
straight away.

Ack on the Bugzilla entry. Regarding attaching patches, however, may I
instead suggest that I maintain a topic branch in my GitHub repo? I can
occasionally rebase that branch on trunk, and it will make merging very
easy once the work is completed. Does that sound reasonable?
