Thank you for the advices, Eric, sorry I didn't followed'em to the
letter. It wasn't intentional, I just don't have that much experience
with git.
That's okay - you've already shown great initiative by reporting _and
fixing_ a security bug. Getting all the details right comes with time
and experience, but we all have to start somewhere.
If you read HACKING, but found things confusing or lacking, let us know
- we'd like to improve it for the next first-time contributor. If you
didn't read HACKING, then that might explain why it took a few tries to
come up to speed on our conventions.
It's good to know that these small patches benefited the Libvirt
project.

You still haven't answered my query from an earlier version: we prefer
to list a legal name in the authorship of git commits (after all,
copyleft licenses work _because_ of copyright law, but the law prefers
working with full names rather than nicknames). Is there something that
I should list you as rather than just "Reco"?
