I'd like to step in here to point out that the system isn't without
flaw; I had a similar experience to Eric's. Noted a minor bug in a
header, created a (real) patch file, and had to subscribe to send it
to cygwin-patches. Being a clueless newbie, I of course didn't
include a changelog entry. So, if all were working as designed, I
would have been yelled at (err, gently corrected), and made to
resubmit. But ....
drumroll...
instead, Corinna just applied it. Someone must have been asleep at
the wheel is all I can say. Just plain broken.
