When I diff the file you provided with eudcb-mab.el from Emacs master
(1cb34285463d2b9050a031a7f9a53d376de5b489), I see these unnecessary
whitespace changes:

OK, this is good to go in.

After your copyright assignment is done, there are a few more steps:

- rebase the patch onto Emacs master

- write a ChangeLog entry

- commit locally

- send the new patch, formatted by git format-patch
