I've considered suggesting it before looking at what is in
satadev. It is merged up in the Linus head right now, so you
are talking about really _huge_ changes that are not yours and
with a lot of merges.
It usually is much easier to rebase your own code than other's.
BTW, I really hate MUA's that does Mail-Followup-To to somebody
else. This message for example would not help Martin more than
it would help you, but your MUA somehow redirected it to him.
