Sigh.  Here we go again.  I've said this many times.  Patches need to be
sent to the mailing list *before* they're sent to the patch system.  Not
just the complex ones.  ALL PATCHES including those which look like simple
fixes.

The reason being is that if someone wants to comment on the patch, they
can.  For exactly the kind of reason that Will brings up above.  You may
think your fix is obvious and the right solution, but someone else in this
complex ecosystem may have a case where your otherwise perfect solution
doesn't work.
