For something simple and straightforward like the obfuscation patches,
I can take them directly if people are unavailable.

Just make sure to re-post the patches, and make it clear that it's to
me (because usually if I'm cc'd I end up just reading and then
ignoring things that I expect to go through a maintainer).
