Oh, that's all you need for the patch to be CONSIDERED...  But it can
get lost if nobody looks at it promptly which is why we recommend using
a bugzilla ticket.  The issue is that we get hundreds of messages a
week, so if nobody looks at the email promptly it can easily get lost.

I'm sorry this got lost.  Normally after a week or two people pipe up
and say "hey, what about my patch?" at which point someone would either
look at it or suggest posting it to Bugzilla.
