Comment 14 for bug 1384503

Sorry Charles, but a patch that is known to work just in one case isn't really sufficient for an SRU. It is useful and I appreciate your contribution, but alongside it we need to analyse and understand the regression risk for other valid use cases. This is the "Regression Potential" section of the SRU paperwork, together with the SRU Verification process that is documented. I asked for this in comment #8 in the same bug, but nobody responded.

This isn't unnecessary or bureaucratic red tape. The process is there to ensure that we do not regress millions of users by trying to fix a bug that doesn't affect them.

I'm not willing to upload your patch for SRU review because I don't know what other behaviour it might regress. In order to perform the required analysis, a complete failure case (which in this case needs the correct test data for a failure case) would be most useful.
