If you can follow the instructions on 'Submitting code' under
http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/HowToContribute -- open a ticket, upload
a patch, sendin a CCLA, etc. -- that'd be great. Note that patches with
tests get pulled in faster, so if you can work on writing tests, that
helps too.

The patch you've created definitely sounds useful, so please do bring it
in.
