Oh %)
I did sent it in the next minute.  And did receive a copy myself.
But it seems it never showed up in the list.
I am still a bit new to the tools, maybe I did something wrong.
Will try again :)

You did and I even replied with additional details, that I should have 
included as a cover letter.
I can see those messages in the web archive.
It seems that Paul Mackerras gitk repository is here:

At least that is what is online.  I do not see the change in there.
I will remind him about it.
