Our apologies, there aren't that many of us.  I see that you followed our
documentation for submitting a patch:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/gitwash/patching.html

Looking at your patch, I think it makes sense to do what you did.  I only
wonder if there are any other properties that should be taken care of
here?  Color?  Linestyle? etc?

Thoughts?

Cheers!

Note to self: we need to update the docs to describe how to do Pull
Requests on GitHub.

Hi again,

I send this patch to the mailing list two weeks ago and did not get any 
response. If you reject it, could you please explain why or how I should 
improve?

Best regards.

Subject: Patch for errorbar, alpha kw did not apply to lines and cap markers

Hi matplotlib developers,

this is my first commit to matplotlib. I am using it heavily in a
scientific context. I followed the How-to and send you an according
patch for what I consider a bug. If it doesn't make sense, please be
lenient with me for now, since it my first time. : )

As described in the subject line, I made the alpha keyword in the
errorbar command act also on the error bars and not only on the markers.
The previous behaviour seemed inconsistent.

Cheers,
Hans
