Hi there!

I am sorry for being late, preparing/attending FOSDEM got all my time.

I backported your patch on top of your first one [1] and Julien's [2]
and everything is working as expected, thanks:

    FWIW I would have preferred Daniel's patch, the variable name was a
    bit clearer and more self-explicative, but never mind, what is
    important is that it is fixed!

BTW, the description for `mml2015-signers' still needs

Apart from the above, given that all the patches have been included in
the emacs tree, this bug should be closed, I leave this to you ;-)

Thx, bye,
