Now that there are... let's see... 13 people with commit access to MakeMaker there's not a whole lot of excuses for patches to not get applied.
Use your commit bit on the main repository. Git and Github are very forgiving about mistakes. The worst that happens is a commit has to be obliterated from history, which is only slightly disruptive and very easy. If you're not sure, branch, but I encourage you to work in the main repository where its easier to follow what's going on. If you're not sure about something, discuss it here, but think it through with code in a branch. -- 170.
