If it makes the code better, let's push it. It's not the contributor's
fault that other people's as-yet-unpushed patches may or may not collide.
If we have conflicting patches, their authors will just have to adjust,
as we often do when doing collaborative work on the same area of the code.
I haven't checked, but we do need to make sure that the contributor
has a copyright assignment on file or else that the patch fits into
the obvious/tiny patch rule.
