Bruce,

Yes, that would be nice! But not likely in practice, unless your
patch happens to immediately catch the interest of a suitably
qualified person with commit privileges.

However, I don't know of any way the maintenance of the wiki is an
addition to your workload. I feel that the onus of adding the patch
to the wiki should be on the submitter, and we've already had some
success getting submitters to add their own patches. And Alvaro has
already offered to pick up the slack in cases where the submitter
fails to add their patch to the queue.

Every patch that somebody else adds to the wiki is another patch you
don't have to add to your queue, so how can this be anything but a
plus for you?

Cheers,
BJ
