I think it's general for open source, most source contributions aren't very good in the first round. The trick is to keep potential contributors enthousiastic enough to take your comments well and rewrite the patches to conform to the standards of the project. I have had the same observation as antirez, but haven't found a solution yet.

It's true of a lot of commercial code as well. How often do junior devs and contract coders deliver something perfect on the first try, especially if they are coding for their problem and you are trying to keep the needs of the whole community in mind?
