Thanks, certainly no urgency here. In this particular case this isn't
a true revision: the difference between v7 and v6 is the presence of
an additional patch.

While it's true that this won't be picked up for some time (and that's
ok), I wanted to get Benno's eyes on it sooner than later. Is there a
workflow (within the mailing list) for such a case, or do folks go out
