Sorry for the lack of clarity.  This should say
	                           ... another infelicity ...
	... submaintainers summarizing ...

In other words, I think the objection given to the patch upthread was a real one, but that a more appropriate fix than using strange spacing would be to combine statistics from all branches being merged.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness. Jonathan
