I take the above to mean that you as a contributor active in this
area like the general idea in the patch but not volunteering to take
this topic over and instead trust René to tie the loose ends with a
reroll, taking hints from your suggestions?

I just wanted to make sure that we won't be confused whose turn it
is next (e.g. me waiting for update to t7400 from you or René doing
the same).

Thanks.
