Superb write up.
I feel sadend however, by one thing that seems to be missing, but in my opinion is absolutely critical to any patch to any OSS Code Base -- test cases.
Even if you don't believe in Test driven development, even if you don't worry about having 100% code coverage in your test suite, the best way to explain what a patch does, is to provide some tests that demonstrates it's usage.
Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
