not really. It's cygwin-patches AT cygwin DOT com usually.

Thanks for the patch. I've applied it. However...

...it's a border case in terms of licensing. In theory it's a bit too
big to fit into the "trivial patch" rule but since its functionality
is pretty simple, I turned a blind eye to the size.
For the future, if you want to submit more patches, please have a start
by reading http://cygwin.com/contrib.html. It contains all information
you need as a contributor. Signing the assignment form is (unfortunately)
most important.
Thanks again for the patch,
Corinna
