It seems that I invented the patch text, inserted it into some cover letter that was available nearby, and applied it, so GGG wasn't involved in it at all (GGG does not give the in-body "From:" to cover letters, so it is entirely my fault that I failed to notice that the e-mail "From:" that points at GGG was used).
