Next time you see patches with insufficient commit log text just send them back
with 'Changes Requested'. I don't mind since I have a bit of a blind spot for
that myself. It's good training for me.

But in this case you accepted the patch ("drop unneeded module params") which
really needed a better description (again, blind spot on my side, I should
have caught that), and then stopped merging the remaining patches. But those
remaining patches all have proper commit logs (at least in my view), so I am
requesting that you pull in the remaining patches. 

If you think that the commit logs for the remaining patches isn't good enough,
just let me know and I will improve them.

	Hans
