Heh, I spoke too fast.  The original is at $gmane/190576 [*1*] and
the butchering of the address is only due to the the spinics list
archive pb158 grabbed his or her copy from.

So we don't need any forwarder's sign-off.  As long as the change is
acceptable (I have no opinion on it), the original can be directly
applied.
