Sure, that's certainly possible.  However, one of the points of the
staging branch is that mistakes need not get into master.

To make an example for how to do corrections like that, I looked at your
change in order to find something to complain about.  And the version
string was the easiest target...

dev/staging is a moving target.  It should be kept in a state where
fast-forwarding master to it is possible (because that's really what
Patchy can do with good conscience after testing).

But from one moment to the next, it might stop being a proper descendant
of a previous value of dev/staging, and contributors must be prepared to
deal with that: rebasing their own work on top of an old dev/staging on
the rewritten version of dev/staging.
