Damien,

This is the first time in the three years I've been here that an
upstream developer has submitted a patch.  So because it's so
unexpected, for my own part 'Awesome, amazing' and thank you.

The current situation is Ruben the BDFL is commissioning the
infrastructure systems for a new contribution process.  AIUI this will
also include a community repo.  So even if your package isn't accepted
into the main then it could well end up in a community supported
extension.  

So again, although the BDFL is the only one who can speak
authoritatively for the distro THANKS.
