I just applied them, as they are small. In the future please nag over IRC, and if you have bigger patches please let's start the copyright assignment process; find me on IRC to get that done. We'll try to do better in the future; it would be hard to do worse. Andy On Wed 26 Mar 2014 04:27, "Diogo F. S.
