Thanks for trying to contribute. I think there might be a
misunderstanding. You can't commit to the official Emacs repository
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/) unless you are a registered
member of the Emacs project. So I'm not sure where you committed your
patch. Perhaps you only committed it to your local copy of the Emacs
sources.

The right thing to do is to send your patch to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.

Generally, explain what problem you are trying to solve, and how your
patch solves it. Ideally, provide a ChangeLog entry that matches the
format used in Emacs. We require a copyright assignment for non-trivial
patches, but you don't need to worry about that right now. See
etc/CONTRIBUTE for more information.

Finally, even if your patch looks good, it might not be possible to
apply it now, since we are currently in "feature-freeze" waiting for the
release of Emacs 24.1.
