I actually meant what I wrote. It is possible that the reason why your patch did not receive any response was because it was uninspiring, looked useless, and did not deserve anybody's attention. But it is also possible that it was lost in the noise. And pinging on the topic by responding to your own message is not just acceptable but very much appreciated way to remind others who may have missed it, in case it is the latter. If a topic is truly obvious and straight-forward, it may be taken silently to 'seen' and even to 'next', and since it is suggested for the contributors to look at "master..seen", such a topic would not fall into the "hear nothing about it from anybody for a long time" category anyway.
