The patch hadn't previously been sent in that form but it looks like
it's attempting to fix a bug which had had some previous goes at fixing
it that required updates.

If you're not sure there's a case for better changelogs at least! :)

The issue is that things are missing merge windows - they're getting
sent in but if there's any review comments a revised version of the
patch isn't getting posted until the next batch of submissions.  It's
these revisions rather than the initial submissions that I'm concerned
about.
