I've put your patch (with a typo removed) on github [1] (If you don't want to use github please, at least, include our patch in inlined text attachment, or directly in the email, it make discussion easier)
The idea seem cool, but people might object to change to the look and feel. Guys, what do you thinks about it ? [1] https://github.com/vanicat/magit/tree/inherit-face -- Rémi Vanicat
