Hi Tim

I'd recommend creating a ticket and attaching your patch to it. Set your
ticket to milestone 2.12 and to Review if your patch is ready for review and
includes unit tests (I haven't looked at your patch yet). Patches in tickets
are looked at when the time for a new release comes, patches in emails
aren't.

Cheers,
