Thanks.  A few comments below.

This patch is small enough for us to accept it unconditionally, but if
you plan on contributing in future, we'd need you to sign copyright
assignment papers.  If you're okay with that, I will send you the form
to fill and the instructions to go with it.

Please use our conventions of formatting commit log messages like
ChangeLog entries.  You can find the details in the file CONTRIBUTE.

The description enough is good, but maybe a better place for it would
be a comment near the relevant code.

I guess you meant cl-rotatef?  rotatef is unbound in "emacs -Q", even
after I load tetris.el.
