The idea is fine, but this isn't how we add patches for IcedTea7&8.
Please just commit the patch to the appropriate forest.  Job done.

Yes, a NEWS update should go in along with a bump to the changeset/checksums
to bring in the patch.  Have a look at a few of the recent changes by myself
and Pavel to see how to do this.

No, it's fine to leave it as is.  It's a pity Bugzilla can't list all products
where the change has been applied.  Instead, we tend to go with the oldest
e.g. if it was fixed in IcedTea6 1.8, 1.9, 1.10 and IcedTea7 1.14, we would
use IcedTea6 1.8.
