He will.

As I merged the patch into Git for Windows' `master`, I consider it my
responsibility to push this upstream (unless the contributor wants to take
matters into their own hands).

In the future, my hope is that GitGitGadget will make contributing patches
to the Git mailing list a more convenient experience, to the point that it
will hopefully be pretty much as easy as iterating a PR in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git. At that point, I will ask
contributors to do exactly that in order to shepherd their patches into
git.git.

Ciao,
Dscho
