Dear Dr. Redelmeier,

We don't accept patches on the mailing list. Please see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development#Submitting_Patches for ways that you can contribute code.

In this particular case, though, your patch adds nothing. It's a comment in code; such comments are intended solely for developers, and since the path to the file includes directories "locale-specific" and "us" it seems pretty blindingly obvious that it's for US taxes.

Regards,
John Ralls
