I intentionally do not include the author's name in these messages, to avoid a distracting notification; the author can hunt down this conversation in the maze of automated notifications, if the issue is worth voting upon.

Xach: the commit is from today (although it was authored a while ago).. I will modify my public libraries accordingly in a few months from now ;)
