Great to have you on board, Rich.

This won't be too hard if you have you changes in an mq patch, as
described in http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersProcess

Something like this:
hg qpop
hg pull -u
hg qpush
# fix any conflicts, if necessary
hg qref
./run_all_tests.sh
hg email tip

run_all_tests.sh should do a style check, and confirm that your commit
message includes an issue number.

Looking forward to seeing your patch!
