Hmm, I'm not so sure about that, but looking at the result now I think
there's no need to abbreviate it anyway.

I think this should be okay to go to emacs-26; it's not strictly
speaking a bug fix, but it's obviously safe and this info is often
useful for package maintainers fielding bug reports, so it would be good
to have it more widely available.  Eli?

Yup, that's fine.  You can also use the -v option to git-format-patch in
order to make it more obvious that the patch is new.  For small stuff
like this, it's not really important though.

I suppose you haven't assigned copyright for Emacs?  No problem if not,
the patch is small enough to go in anyway, we just have to mark it.
