Sorry about that.  I think I'd created the original module.h patch in
the context of the thread that Ingo started, and it never crossed my
mind at the time to run get_maintainer.pl on module.h itself.  And
that patch hasn't changed since.  An oversight on my part.  :(

Yeah, fair enough -- remembering to CC maintainers isn't rocket science.
I hope you'll accept that it was an honest oversight caused by
circumstance and that it wasn't an intentional exclusion.

Thanks -- I'm glad at least the end result is OK with you.
