Albert, sorry for responding to the patch rather than your mail, but for
some reason I didn't get your response on Jan 14 where you wrote:

Tom, is this patch OK?

It's the same patch, with no changes. I reposted since there was no
response, so figured it must have been lost.

In other cases where I sent pings in replies to the patch, I was asked
to repost the patch instead. Admittedly the particular case I'm thinking
of here was Linux kernel patches, but the process ought to be the same;
it's hard on submitters to have to remember some table of
maintainer/project -> ping/repost style and similar things:-(
