Once I was asked if I could look into a package. I spent a day writing
a couple of ebuilds including fixing the build system of the target
package. When I presented a first git-format-patch I was ask to do a
github pull request instead. So I asked why not git-am? The answer was
- don't be a *beep*. As a result the package never got fixed and I
outright ignore any repo not hosted on Gentoo infra.
