I submitted a tiny patch to address a particular need I saw recently. (https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/26280/)

The patch just adds a more specific expert warning ("Payload IE in header") already would have been flagged by a more general expert warning ("Unsupported IE ID"). The question I have is whether it's worthwhile to submit a corresponding capture file. I have a single capture file that contains both the malformed and corrected frames, but since it's only a relatively small warning change, is it worth submitting? And if so, where?
