Yep, that was contributed by Catalin when he was working on the XWiki  
XMLRPC improvements :) He provided several other patches. I think most  
of them if not all are also included in swizzle's SVN.

I've been trying to ping David Blevins a few times myself. Being such  
a nice guy I was surprised that he never answered. After I received  
your mail I was able to find him on IRC. He had never received my  
emails for some reason (spam, etc). He's now working on applying the  
last XWiki patch http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SWIZZLE-24 but he  
needs help from Catalin to apply it (I've pinged Catalin yesterday but  
not answer so far).

Sure, but the best is really to work with David  and help him out to  
do releases of swizzle. I know he's been awfully busy but he's ready  
to do a quick release if we can answer the questions he has on our  
latest patch.

Thanks
