The ADs have been prodding us extra hard about IPR recently. :-)  A relevant
section from BCP 79:

: 6.2.2.  Timing of Disclosure Under Section 6.1.2
: 
:    The IPR disclosure required pursuant to section 6.1.2 must be made as
:    soon as reasonably possible after the Contribution is published in an
:    Internet Draft or RFC, unless the required disclosure is already on
:    file.  Participants who realize that the IPR will be or has been
:    incorporated into a submission to be published in an Internet Draft,
:    or is seriously being discussed in a working group, are strongly
:    encouraged to make at least a preliminary disclosure.  That
:    disclosure should be made as soon after coming to the realization as
:    reasonably possible, not waiting until the document is actually
:    posted or ready for posting.

Thus it's okay to just note on the mailing list that you're aware of IPR and
that a formal declaration should be getting filed at some point in the
future.
