Github user ptgoetz commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/490#issuecomment-87551582 +1, though it's not necessary because you are a committer. If you can apply the patch, even if you have to do so manually, without violating the spirit of it (yes, I know, that's subjective...), then you can do so. It would be good form to notify dev@ of any actions you had to take, etc. to make the patch apply. If there are any problems, it can always be reverted.
