Hi Rob, this sounds interesting.  It can take a while to get patches
through the review process and into pcb proper.  Especially if you
intend to to do more work on this I think getting set up with a git
account will end up being easiest for you as well as everyone else.
There are a number of people on this list who can help with that if
you're interested.
