So the following approaches seem reasonable:

1.	Get an ack, as you say.  I would need to put the patch on a
	separate branch in the meantime, but that is eminently doable.

2.	Let the person reporting the issue produce the patch.

3.	Wait until I am not massively distracted to produce the patch.

These all have drawbacks.  Almost like we are living in the real world!

This particular case actually worked well -- you inspected my commit,
found the problem, and submitted the patch.  All is well that ends well!
