Yes, it sounds excellent.  We use git for version control now - so you
could easily fork a copy and put it somewhere (github for example) with
your patch, and just point us to the branch :)  Or put the diff in
bugzilla - whatever suits.

One question: do you attempt to keep mailboxes for the same user
together on the same partition/same server?  While same partition
isn't really necessary (just somewhat desirable) - same server
is pretty useful.  Otherwise things like seen files become a mess
(less so in 2.4.x, but still)
