Don't be too frightened.  Any patch can introduce breakage if unexpected
things happen.  It happens to regular contributers too.  Of course you
should be careful, but don't thwart yourself, I think you are totally
able to rate your work.

If it helps, you can post a commit on emacs-devel before pushing for
review.  I did that a while ago to be sure that I respected all commit
message rules.
