I can understand why others are fed up with this discussion. Your
communication style is exhausting and you've pushed into the territory
where any benefits of taking the patches are not worth the time and
hassle of dealing with you.

I left Reviewed-bys on two patches. Maybe they will get picked up.
But please think again about what Christian explained. Reviewers and
maintainers spend time on your patches so make it worth their while.

Thanks for another feedback.

How did you get this impression?

Would you dare to acknowledge benefits from my update suggestions
for any other software components?

How are the chances that such a conclusion will change?

Thanks for your constructive responses.


> Maybe they will get picked up.

I am also curious on how the software evolution will be continued.

I risk something just by proposing so many software updates for places
where change opportunities were found by special source code search patterns.
