Comment:

 @strake888, thanks for preparing the patch, but we had already planned out
 a much more elaborate patch (which I've just completed and published as
 Phab:D1284). I have to apologize as this was a miscommunication error on
 our end to remove the owner from this ticket and make it appear as if this
 task was looking for a volunteer.

 To be on the safe side in the future, please give a short heads-up notice
 if you see another task you may be interested in tackling, especially if
 the task description seems incomplete or still in work-in-progress state
 (as for this ticket).
