rusty you may want to review your rules before this gets in ;)
the "Trivial Patch Monkey" is neither documented in MAINTAINERS
nor was there a note in SubmittingPatches, i hope this helps
further recognition and easier catch
so let the monkey apply himself in re-transmission mode!
please apply

Could you take care when spelling names to ensure that you get them
correct *PLEASE*. I for one are sick and tired of trying to get
people to spell my name correctly. Personally, I see it as an insult
that people can't take the time to get it correct.
