Yes! I want to do it.
After you update 'master' branch on your repo 
(git.kernel.org/.../trace-cmd.git), I'll send a patch as you said !

And would you mind if I ask you to check another patch I sent ?

   "[PATCH] Fix pevent_filter_clear_trivial()"

But I'll renewedly send the patch after I a bit modified it.
I'd appreciate it if you check the patch, too. :)

Thanks,
Taeung
