I'm not sure if I would qualify.

Bollocks. If you hadn't noticed pchel and I have done quite a lot of
work this way the last half year of 2004. It's just that there don't
seem to be many people that want to be the second pair of eyes to check
patches. I believe double verification is a good policy to avoid silly
mistakes. This might be a rather trivial patch, so yes, I could have
committed it. Maybe I'm a bit too cautious at times. Must be my lack of
formal training that makes me a bit uncertain about these issues at
times. Otoh in all these months nobody seems to have cared just to take
a look for a second and reply that they thought the thing was ok.

Right. Thanks. I'll commit it to PRE and HEAD then. Tomorrow. Or the day
after.
