Well, I'd like to think that generally I'm reasonably responsive to
patch submissions and obviously there's no great urgency here since
we're in the merge window - nothing is likely to go in until 3.7 anyway,
though it'd be handy if the DT updates went in early (and they're very
low risk...).

The general pattern with these things should be that the patches get
sent via the normal route and any unusual requirements discussed then.
To be honest it doesn't seem like there's much problem here, you've got
no build time dependencies or anything.
