Whoever needs to see this has or will see it. There is no reason to
jump through extra hoops. It's like someone telling you that you left
your headlights on, and you respond with "send me an email about it".

In this case, asking for a patch that adds a single word to a comment
is silly, and I would still have to submit the patch to someone for it
to be applied, which would actually require more work than simply
changing that line in the first place. Chanting the "submit a patch"
mantra without regard for context seems to be a consequence of
long-term development and concomitant apathy.

If you don't want to fix it, then don't.
