Oh, it's in my queue, but it's basically at the end of my queue
because I will need to take a much deeper look into what's going on.

It's not just that you're a new source of pulls, it's also that this
is a big change and completely changes the organization of the zlib
stuff. So every time I look at my list of pending pulls, this always
ends up being "I'll do all the normal ones first".

So it's not lost, but this is the kind of pull that I tend to do when
my queues have emptied. Which they haven't done yet..
