Comment:

 Hi @dshanske ! Thank you so much for submitting this patch. It was
 discussed in the recent media meeting and I am going to work to get this
 merged before the 5.4 beta. One thing I’ll make an adjustment on the
 `media_sideload_image()` function to give some indication of the new meta
 field being added. @joemcgill mentioned something like `Since 5.4, the
 original URL of the attachment is stored in post meta` Feel free to do
 this if you don’t see my patch here yet. I’ll likely get to this early
 next week.

 Here’s that function for handy reference:
