Nice. I guess people don't want to upstream patches for some reason. Time and effort you put into upstreaming patches is almost always wasted, either you get it included and then have to maintain it forever or it will get removed due to bitrot or developers will just say no and all your effort was wasted. Don't forget that developers might also want to share their opinions about you based on your commit. There is no better way to build community than saying that no one cares about you inside of it.
