Maybe there's a misunderstanding: I'm offering to do this in your
stead.  IOW, "if I'm going to do this" is no longer applicable: if you
ask me, I will do it for you -- you will no longer need to bother
about the process, you will just get a notification when it's done
(and you can query me about the current status, if you wish).

It's entirely up to you whether to take the offer, of course.
