*nod* Yeah.

Based on my own experience when working with the _Gentoo_ repo, 
and because GURU bugs in general should be reported on b.g.o, i 
would suggest using format-patch to create a patch (including 
Signed-off-by) for b.g.o. To give you an idea, here's my most 
recent patch:

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/975941

(i keep a local copy of the Gentoo repo around, which i pull 
before creating any patches, then create a new branch for 
development of a particular patch, so that i can have multiple 
patches on the go at once if necessary.)
