Thanks, although I don't know what there is to discuss about it. It's
so simple that it should either be applied or discarded.

I _do_ have an account; it's "gregnoel" (identical to the account name
you used for your message). And I can't add myself to the CC list;
none of the fields are editable, even after I log in. (There's
probably some magical permission that needs to be enabled, but I don't
know what it is or who has to enable it.) Could you try adding me to
the CC list again?

And it was. I forgot to thank you after I did it. :-)

No, that says that this is why we have a patch manager, to ensure that
stuff doesn't get dropped. Patches aren't ignored without comment
just because they aren't interesting -- this is a busy project, and
sometimes folks don't respond about a particular thing because they
assume that surely someone else will. Enough rounds of that, and
eventually things fall through the cracks.
That's why we have Sander taking care of business (and doing a great
job, I might add). When patches find their ways into the issues
database, there's no ignoring them -- their in your face, forcing you
to at least assign them a milestone. It was because your patch was
turned into an issue that Karl saw it today, and drew my attention
toward it. And now, it's been reviewed and applied.

Your patch was committed this morning in r7969. It didn't drop by the
wayside. :-)

My position is that this patch isn't a big enough subject for an issue.
It's so simple that if it's going to be applied at all, it should have
been applied quickly.
In fact, I figured that it would be batched in with the first change to
the documentation. Instead, there have been several changes to the
documentation (some quite trivial) and yet my proposed change was not
picked up. That says that there's so little interest in it that it
will _never_ be picked up.
It's a pity, but since that's the way it is, I'd just say to drop it.
Hope this helps,

I agree, however it's not up to me to decide that. I'm subversion's
patch manager, and I need to make sure no patches get forgotten. The
issue tracker is the easiest way to store them.

You should request the 'observer' status with the subversion project.
Once you are an observer you can use the issue tracker.
