I suggest posting these patches on a new thread with a subject line
that matches what the patches do, and adding it to the next
CommitFest. It seems like a reasonable thing to do on first glance,
but I wouldn't want to commit it without going through and figuring
out whether there's any risk of anything breaking, and it doesn't seem
like there's a strong need to do it in v15 rather than v16.
