Cheers - a good suggestion.

I'm going to reintegrate my patches (separately) with the current code,
and then I'll create appropriate enhancements in bugzilla and attach
them there.

Something that we have (sort of) promoted in the past was the following:
Submit your patch to the ml. In case the patch isn't committed/nacked
within 3-4 days then open a bug and attach the patch to the bug. This
way the patch won't get lost and we don't have the management overhead
of tracking all the patches in the bugtracking system.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
