I've been subscribed to edk2-devel (wherever it lived whenever) since
approx. April 2012. So, I checked all my yearly archives, and the only
year where the search expression "df7729 patch" returns at least one hit
is 2013. Please don't judge the project's development process from a
four year old experience, there have been many changes.

Please consider submitting a patch with git:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Development-Process

(Optional reading:
<https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Laszlo's-unkempt-git-guide-for-edk2-contributors-and-maintainers>.)

Please don't forget to CC the StdLib maintainers on your patch -- they
are listed in "Maintainers.txt".

If you don't feel like posting a patch with git, can you perhaps
register in the TianoCore Bugzilla, and file a bug report there?
