My experience, prior to getting a commit bit, was that submitting a PR was usually a very good way to make sure that a patch would be ignored (albeit not lost). I do my best to work through GNATS, but I'm sure there are many perfectly good patches which I haven't found yet. But I'll make an offer to contributors-at-large: If you've sent in a PR with an "obviously correct" patch to the src tree (like the one which started this thread) and you're tired of waiting for someone to notice it, send me an email and I'll try to deal with it. :-) Colin Percival
