Of course, please always feel free to send a patch (it depends if the
maintainers end up accepting it, in this case Benno/Gary, but sending
is OK :)

You can also send it as a PR to the pin-init repository -- I think
they still accept both patches here and PRs there, but a PR there may
be easier for them.

Thanks!
