your branch is outdated so the diff is not clean, i.e. contains a lot of other 
commits
-> please rebase your branch
see https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Submitting-patches

it would probably also be good to base it on maint - but someone from the otp 
team needs to decide here :)

your commit though seems reasonable
