I'd love to get this one in 7.7, but at the same time, it's hard
justifying delaying a branch for a non-critical failure.
The good news is that there is little to no activity at the moment,
so there is no point in me creating the branch now. Creating it
after New Year will prevent the need for updating the year ranges
in the copyright headers twice. And that will give you more time
to get the patch in.
I took a quick look at your patch; one of the trivial things I noticed
is that many new functions and new types are missing documentation.
If you add those and resend a patch, that'll have the nice property
if implicitly pinging the maintainers. Also, feel free to ping on
your patch a week or two after submission, and every week thereafter.
