as demonstrated by my signature,
i do personally not care about the spelling
of my own name so please don't take it as insult.

autority with his many different names..

Even if the maintainer did not respond in step #4, make sure to ALWAYS
copy the maintainer when you change their code.
+For small patches you may want to CC Trivial Patch Monkey
+trivial@rustcorp.com.au set up by Rusty Russell which collects "trivial"
+patches. Trivial patches must qualify for one of the following rules:
+ Spelling fixes in documentation
+ Spelling fixes which could break grep(1).
+ Warning fixes (cluttering with useless warnings is bad)
+ Compilation fixes (only if they are actually correct)
+ Runtime fixes (only if they actually fix things)
+ Removing use of deprecated functions/macros (eg. check_region).
+ Contact detail and documentation fixes
+ Non-portable code replaced by portable code (even in arch-specific,
+ since people copy, as long as it's trivial)
+ Any fix by the author/maintainer of the file. (ie. patch monkey
+ in re-transmission mode)
+
6) No MIME, no links, no compression, no attachments. Just plain text.
