Re: [PATCHES PR 11540 & PR 37402]

[Stuart Children <st...@terminus.co.uk>]

To start off, congratulations to all involved with 2.2.0 - especially 
all the coders.

Now the release is done, I'd really like to get the below in for 2.2.1. 
Other than posting here, is there anything I can do to create some 
action? Who do I need to get approval from before someone can commit the 
patches?

TIA
