I was replying to a specific comment suggesting that the maintainer should do a code review, give comments and ask for an update to the patch, instead of rewriting the patch. Quoting my words out of context isn't helpful here.
- Arnavion 3y agoAnd my point was that from "a utilitarian perspective" there's a middle ground between "coach the original author to produce a better patch" and "commit your own patch without crediting the original author"; it's "commit your own patch while crediting the original author". There's no "out of context" quoting in my comment.
