What I would suggest (generally to anyone on this list that ever needs a patch 
shepherding) is to make sure a tracker exists - @David, as I know you have 
access to create tickets you can at least do this - and then attach your patch 
to that and set the tracker to 'started' so that at the very least if (for 
example) Urs forgets, goes on holiday, has some emergency, that I can at least 
pick it up/detect it on the countdown and put it up for review myself. 

I do this all the time for 'drive by' patches.
