This is pending a copyright assignment.

One could probably develop with branch-1-8, but that looks
like a waste of time for new feature.  branch-1-8 tracks
only bug fixes, so the patch would have to be adapted to
HEAD before it can be installed there.

Regarding joint patches, this is delicate because the FSF
requires copyright assignments for significant changes.
