It's easy.  I'll send you a form to fill out.  You email it to the
FSF, they send you a piece of paper, you sign it and snail-mail it
back to the FSF.

Okay, I've now thought long and hard about it, and -- lo! -- I found
a small problem.  There you are :-)  (See my other message from a few
minutes ago about this.)

Maybe I should have explicitly said "the patch seems good" in my
previous message, instead of just implying this when I said I would
commit.  Sorry.
