Hi,

   I know using git would be better. But, I still have a bandwidth
problem (and git clone is far too big). Hopefully, I should solve this
problem soon.

   If you feel the patch is ok, don't worry about ownership. Important
thing is that media list works! If it is no longer in sync with latest
git master, I can send a new version (still in diff -ru) during the
weekend.

Hello,

Could you resend your patch using git format-patch (see the wiki)?  
This is nicer to track ownership.

Pierre.
