I'm fine with this.

I bet that you already wrote the patch that your describing.  If you want to
just merge that and give me reported-by credit then that's fine by me.

I can also resend.  I don't mind doing that.  I've already written the patch
that you're describing and I just have to write the commit message and hit send.
I can send it on Monday.  Whatever is easiest.
