We do not use GitHub pull requests for the glusterfs-specs repository. See the main README for sending your change to Gerrit. I've left some comments in the GitHub patch. It's tricky to find where the comments are, but I think this link should do it: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs-specs/commit/eb00fae40686bf5693242f389bbd9d0b7e0baede#diff-189cd0b816a5a125cfaccf7434dd6d57R46 Thanks, Niels
