I just opened the following issue[0] which is partly motivated by this patch and partly motivated by "need moar flexibilities". Hopefully this will get done eventually and you can use this. Feel free to complain if I missed something. Together with the rc.lua-"patch" that I wrote in an earlier reply, that should make it possible to include c.machine in both the titlebar and the tasklist.
