Is it really so much effort to format your patch as required in comparison to doing the work to create the improvements you claim?

The top seven are all things I'm concerned about, but I was initially surprised at the fact that my preference order is pretty much the reverse. Then I wasn't surprised. Then I was just happy that permission over-reach, intrusive

Err, whoops... that was unintended. I read the article, reached the end, thought it was interesting and hit share. Damn Ars and their pagination! I will pay more attention in the future.

I thought it was mildly amusing and it held my attention. I understand your point of view though; whilst I work a lot with open source software I also work for a closed source shop that uses closed source products. As you mention some thing

At work I have set up a nightly Jenkins job to merge all verified, un-submitted patches from Gerrit and process the resulting history with Sonarqube[1]. This has revealed many bad habits and allowed us to correct them through review comment

Yeah, I read through the forum to set whether this was a mistake in the article. I think my point was that the lazy author was the source of confusion of the name.
