That's fine with me.  I didn't know the patch submission procedure.
Is it documented somewhere?  I assumed that the maintainers of
packages subscribe here, or at the very least I'd be able to bounce it
off subscribers to bioc-devel to get some valuable feedback (which I
did).

Odd, my mail client shows the attachments went out okay.  Maybe there
was some trouble because I forwarded, or because I switched my
subscribed email address in the middle of the thread.  I was
previously subscribed from .ucla.edu domain, but now I subscribe from
.gmail.com.

Does this address your concern over my current .gmail.com email
domain?  Ideally I'd be taken seriously proportional to the quality of
my postings rather than the domain of origin.

Thanks for the heads up, and sorry for the attachment confusion.
