Hi John,
How about:
Github pull requests: This is the preferred method if the change is
non-trivial. Patches are also acceptable.
Let me know if this is OK and I'll do it. I'm very happy for you to spend
your time more productively.
Congratulations on 2.6.13 BTW. I haven't seen any reports of problems -
nice!
Thanks to all developers :-)
Regards,
Chris Good
