Looking at [1], this patch was not pushed.
Any reason speaking against it?
I thought someone else had reviewed it and Chris was going to push it,
since he has direct push access to the X.Org repos. I don't usually
track patches from other X.Org developers who can push things themselves.

I don't know anything about your "maintainer" or "developer" policies.
The Linux-kernel sources have a MAINTAINERS file and a script to list
all involved maintainers in a certain area.
From the xserver I know that there exist diverse persons as release
manager or maintainer of stable GIT branches.
Where can someone find such informations about your pushing and
maintainer policies?
Many parts of X.Org have no active maintainer, so individual developers push
patches as needed.
Officially, we do have a published MAINTAINERS list at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/doc/xorg-docs/tree/MAINTAINERS
and it may be mostly correct. (I know, I should just update the bits I know
are wrong, like listing Keith for a bunch of the client libraries.)
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches/ is the
closest we have to a policies page that I can think of.
Are you planning a new util/macros release soon?
I'm not, since so far there's just cosmetic changes since the last release.
This patch by Chris was no "cosmetic" one.
But it wasn't in the repo yet, so when I said that, the only real change was
adding a space between two words in the output, which is pretty cosmetic.
Now that Chris has pushed a fix for a more serious issue, it's more interesting
to consider a release.
