Okay that sounds right, I'll rebase my patch.

I see, found it.
Also, is there a way to respond to a bug (i.e https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=40121) without subscribing to bug-gnu-emacs? I cannot find a "Comment" button similar to a bug-tracking site like bugzilla (which is what i'm more familiar with). Really like to avoid multiple people working on the same bug in the future.
