I have added the stuff you just described and run a test build. When it
finishes successfully, I'll submit a request to Multimedia.

Well, assuming you have a valid login for PMBS, you can simply

  osc branch Multimedia handbrake home:<your-pmbs-login>
  osc co home:<your-pmbs-login> handbrake
  : do your changes to your locally checked out copy of handbrake
  : run your test build on PMBS
  osc sr home:<your-pmbs-login> handbrake Multimedia

It's really this easy ;-)

No problem, I'd suggest you use the public mailing list for this.

The same to you and everyone else on the list!
