+requests would bypass public code review on the project mailing list.

+Patches should be signed off (include a signed-off-by line) to indicate your
+acceptance of the code's license (see COPYING and the license header in each
+file). See http://developercertificate.org/ for details of what signed-off-by
+implies.
