No worries. I'm a volunteer too. :)

Helpful, thanks.

Yeah, this hit the bulls-eye for me. The 5-for-1 rule is a great way to
specify how newcomers can influence patch workflow w/o becoming
spammers. [Brett: +1 on mentioning this in the updated Patch Guidelines]
Watch for another post once I've found the time to volunteer to review 5
other patches. :)
Thanks again, all! Consider my original questions answered.
