Looks like a very good plan to me, looking forward to the patch,

AFAICT you have not yet signed any copyright paperwork, so to make sure
your patch can be installed once it's ready you might like to get
started on this as well.  For that, please fill the form below and email
it to the FSF as instructed so they can send you the relevant paperwork
to sign.  Thanks,


        Stefan
