So do I. Fixing your package and you don't even bother to send a *ready to go* patch
upstream seems like a bit rude to me as well. Perhaps, we do have a complete
different point of view in this one.
Recent example is Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn who thanked me for fixing his
package, asked me to attach the patch so *he* can send it upstream. I thought
that was the *default* policy. Anyway. I should talk to each maintainer
separately when I fix his package. Seems to me is the best approach
