The contents look fine.
However, it's from an open hosting site - github. Which is fine, I take pull requests from github all the time. But I require that they be sent using a signed tag, so that I can verify that yes, it's really from you.
And no, I don't do pgp email, even t hough I see that there's a signature on your email itself.
git uses pgp too, but unlike pgp email signatures, the git support for pgp signing is useful and user-friendly and just _works_, rather than the complete and useless disaster that is pgp email [1].
So please make it a signed tag with "git tag -s" and ask me to pull that tag instead.
