Please try to avoid vague descriptions such as "recent changes" and "a
patch".  We like to see specifics: commit IDs and titles.

This way we can make more informed decisions about patch scheduling. 
We can ensure that the authors of the earlier commits get to review
these changes.  Maintainers of other trees can determine whether or not
their tree needs the particular fix.
