Confirm and re-assign bugs with attached/in-line patches for another person to review.

Our policy is to support this by checking whether the relevant directory exists in the top level Ghostscript directory.

If that's really not sufficient, you can reopen the bug, I can discuss it further with my fellow Ghostscript developers.
