Hi Aaron,

Thank you for your patch. I haven't tested it yet but IMO the intention is correct.

As for bugzilla: you can create a new bugreport and attach your patch there. Attaching it to a 
mailing list message risks that it gets lost in the midst of the ongoing discussions. 'git format-
patch' is perfectly fine as format.

As for the "All development should target the *master* branch", we should change this. 
That's advice from the svn era. In git bugfixes should target the *maint* branch. New 
features and enhancements should target *master*.
