Comment (by afercia):

 Noticed a few things that need to be addressed, will try to update the
 patch.

 Re: the URL field label, I'm not sure "Permalink" would be appropriate, as
 that's a term WordPress uses specifically for the posts links. Considering
 this URL field:
 - is read-only
 - its main purpose is to allow users to copy the attachment URL
 - users don't need a specific term like "Media URL", "Attachment URL",
 etc.
 - the label text needs to be short

 What about to just say what it's meant for? "Copy URL":
