I believe he is recommending: "please also create a bug on the exim
bug tracker that briefly describes what the patch does and add a link
to your pull request."  You did not do anything wrong!  We are very
appreciative of the patch!  It's just that a few years in the future,
tracking when features/changes/fixes were made to exim are easier if
they are in the bug tracking system.  It can be simply links/urls to
the locations of the fixes, but they are all in one central location.
