If I may, most of the US East Coast is settling down for bed right now, and most of the West Coast is having dinner. I would guess that people just haven't noticed your post yet.
The patch looks okay to me, but I've been out of the loop so long that I'm as likely to be wrong as right. :^)
In my experience, these guys don't discriminate based on either Unix experience or open-source experience--when I submitted my first patches, I'd never sat at a Unix workstation or server, submitted code to another Open Source project, or even written C. (C++, yes, but not C.)
