Thanks for sharing!

You are quite welcome to commit the change yourself: We are a team here, 
and you do have write access to the packaging, right?

Remember to check if relevant to apply same/similar change to the other 
branches too.  If so, just be lazy and close this same bugreport at all 
branches (instead of the more correct of forking the bugreport and 
closing separately).

There's a typo in "environment".

Also, I suggest to use a shorter text, e.g. this one (based on first 
line of long descriptions of most Sugar packages):

Comment=Graphical user interface aimed at children.


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
