Nah.  Just send me a patch and a list of files to upload ;-)  And of course 
you have to assign the copyright and so forth - I assume there's still a 
contributor agreement with your name on it lying about somewhere.

The worst that could happen is that I'd apply the patch and then have to 
roll it back again.  A worthwhile use of a few minutes, if it helps shed 
light on the topic.
