Along with the good idea of smaller JIRAs, I can suggest two things
to help :

1) That we make a better effort to get the patches in

2) That Alex also call attention to the work on the dev list

Works for me :-)

BTW I think that the page describing how to generate diffs needs to
explain that it seems to fail spectacularly for binary files, and that
if you've got a binary file (either new or modified) then you need to
include it separately.

The key phrase to look out for in the diff itself is:
"Cannot display: file marked as a binary type."

If that's got an entry, it means you need to manually add the binary file.

Alex.
