Hi people,
Just a reminder that it's considered bad manners to mess with other
people's packages (such as, say, doing a revbump and adding a patch)
without asking first, especially when:
* the package is actively maintained and herded in metadata.xml
* the package maintainer is easily contactable by irc or email
* you don't have a bug explaining why a given change is necessary
* the change you're making is broken
So, uh, ask first, mkay?
