I could add that the CODING document in the root of your source tree
describes how one should submit a patch:

2.6. Submitting Patches

In general you should read that whole document and especially the
'2.6.5. Due Diligence' section,

I look forward to seeing your patch make its way into the code base!

Regards

Tim
