Well, I had to do copyright assignements for ztree, but that was on github (
https://github.com/fourier/ztree/pull/33). Maybe @fourier will recognize
himself and warrant me then :-) (I'm Silex).

Oh, I did that in the past but I thought that was meant for general bug
reporting. Do messages sent to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org also end on
emacs-devel? For information, messages like
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-09/msg00635.html don't
seem to follow this "patches as bug reports" philosophy.

Anyway, I found on
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/email-clients.txt that GMail's UI
is not good to send inline patches, so I'll send them to
bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org as attachment instead (that or setup another client).

Thanks!
