I have now. :)

The problem with that shortcut is that it resizes the brush radius (In the
brush options) and thus does not work for bitmap brushes or default brushes.
It's also not mapped to anything by default, probably for those reasons.

My patch is for the tool options "brush scale" keyboard shortcut (By default
mapped to "[" and "]") which of course works all brushes.

Why don't we introduce a 'Scale Brush Relatively' action then and change
the default keyboard mapping to use that? Changing the scale step at
arbitrary points, such as done by your patch, makes the 'brush scale'
action unpredictable. It would make more sense to scale the brush
relatively to its current size.
