I think that's not the point that I want to highlight. The problem, however, is some
drive-by contributors have unwillingness to accept feedback (including critical reviews). When that behavior become a pattern within contributor's organization/domain, maintainers may take on the err side. For example, Linux
kernel maintainers advise to not run checkpatch script on existing sources
([1], [2]). On a occasion, another maintainer had to roll out comment wording
fixes after original submitter ignored the maintainer's review ([3]). And
the well-known example is when an university was banned from Linux kernel
development [4].
