Hello,
A mistake was found after I sent the patch to mentors. What Can I do to make up the fault?
first, if they're truly mentors, they should check the patch themselves and catch the error. otherwise, they're not really doing their job as "mentors."
second, you need to self-examine what you failed to do properly to have sent in a bad patch.
third, send out a follow-up email informing people that you found a mistake with your patch. People appreciate developers who take responsibility for their code, and work to fix it up after the fact. -- All rights reversed.
