I'd expect that if the only issue was a patch was a missing fixes line, 
the person applying the patch could manually edit it in when applying 
the patch, so all the contributor would have to do is reply to the email 
with the desired content. Still, different committers have different 
levels of tolerance for this, so YMMV!
