I'm not familiar with Fortran, so I'm hoping someone else will chime in.
But off-hand, I don't see any reason against applying it, so even if no
one else responds, I will probably add it after a few days of waiting.

By the way, can you convince your mailer to send patches in a text MIME
type, instead of application/octet-stream?  It makes reviewing easier.
Also, providing a ChangeLog entry speeds up the process.
