Personally, I think it sets a bad precedent to suggest that you'll apply
a patch over the potential objections of the project lead for the
affected system.

However, you might as well go ahead and check in the patch.  If someone
notes a problem then presumably it can be reported back to this mailing
list.  But, at least, you won't have to suffer with an "indefinite" wait
before the patch is checked in.

And in the meantime, since this is free software, if I don't agree that
this change should be in the Cygwin release, I can always back it out in
the next release.
