On one hand I agree with you completely about its apparent "obviousness". On the other, I've seen so many devs that wouldn't even have been able to go through the process of identifying properly what to change, let alone do it, that I can recognize this pull as great. The reality is that a majority of coders out there do not know how to properly do their job and they do not even know it (thus they don't try to improve). (but to be fair, that's also what allow us to ask for the kind of salary we get)
