Thanks for a pointer.

I do recall seeing [1] but I do not see anything happened on the thread since then. I didn't look at it back then primarily because the patches were made against a wrong history (no, you do not want to make a gitk patch against my tree nor throw a pull request at my repository), and there was no way for me to pick it up.

As Documentation/SubmittingPatches says:

    Some parts of the system have dedicated maintainers with their own
    repositories.
    ... 
    Patches to these parts should be based on their trees.

Having said that, gitk has been quiescent for quite a while, and I wonder if Paul's been too busy for (or no longer interested in) maintaining it and perhaps he can use a replacement maintainer?
