your standards are inconsistent: your committing the change rather than
offering commit access to someone who solved a problem that (according
to the email thread) that had stopped you for some _months_ indicates
that your whole aim on this is to get credit for yourself.
I noted that the comment in the code was properly attributed, no further
action was needed.
