You do realize that he has commit access, right? You didn't have to commit this 
for him.

There's a very good reason he sent this patch to the list: he wanted to discuss 
it first. He wasn't sure that this was a desirable change, so he wanted to see 
what people thought of it before he committed it.

Besides, you broke the build by converting some tabs to spaces in a makefile. 
Normally we prefer spaces to tabs, but makefiles must use tabs in recipes (the 
lists of commands to execute to make the targets). Did you even test this 
change before you committed it? This time someone caught this and fixed it for 
you, but next time you might get an angry email from someone saying "this 
commit broke the build, please revert or fix".

I understand you have good intentions, but in the future, please don't commit 
patches haphazardly like this.
