Yes, I expect to pick these through my tree, but there are two
circumstances slowing that. One is that the last series I pulled into
my tree included a breaking change, and Tom asked me to identify that
patch and reject it. That means I need to reproduce it. That leads to
the next problem... I've been travelling most of this month and
haven't reproduced the issue yet. When I get my tree unclogged, I'll
be pulling these patches as well as all others Acked and delegated to
me in patchwork.

Cheers,
