Hi Junio, I saw that you committed two of my trivial patches with your changes.

Thank you for committing my patches.

I have one more trivial patch that I want to send, but we are in -rc freeze, when I can send it? The release candidate period is not defined, no? The period ends so when the mailing list reaches an agreement and agrees that the release candidate is ready?

Thanks!

This is a benevolent dictatorship.  Junio sets the date.

True.

And Thiago, don't thank me. It's not "hey I now have N commits in a high profile project" game. We are all working together to make it better, and we thank you for your attention of detail.

OK, I will remember that.
