No problem, you just need to make it clear when someone approves your
patch that you need them to push the patch, otherwise it will fall
through the cracks.

Good point.  This patch is small enough, especially since you mostly
move existing text.  But if you plan on sending slightly more
significative patches, it would be good to have the copyright assignment
on file.  And it can take a bit of time, so better get the process
started early.
