Would you mind formatting your commit message as described at
<https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html>?  It'd also be good to
have an ORG-NEWS entry for this, I think.

make sense for any connection parameter to take precedence if explicitly
given in the source block header (i.e. something like the patch below)?
