In this case it doesn't make much sense, since 2 depends on 1.

Okay. I'm doing it just for completions sake though, so this
patch might fall into the abbys of branches for weeks or months
now.

I can only ask for help though. In some cases I don't get it, so
I'm stuck for months at the same point, and because email does
not really come with enough features, people sometimes start
duplicating work (see python-dulwich), so I really like to call
for help and give information in case someone really reads it.
