FYI, there's already been some patches posted for this:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/mhng-bdcd75a5-e6d6-4090-8292-a32eb46e4464@palmer-ri-x1c9a/

That version already has review and ack tags from Palmer and others.
It seems to me that Andrew is the usual applier of patches for this
script, so I'm gonna add him to CC here so he is aware - but as it is
the middle of the merge window the best course of action might just be
reposting that patch, CCing Andrew, after v6.3-rc1.

Cheers,
Conor.
