If I am not cc'ed on a patch and have to resort to plucking it off the mailing list it ends up being significantly more work and more error-prone for me to process it. I used to merge your patches but then you chose to stop ccing me on them so I stopped applying them. The increased hassle just isn't worth it for some random make-foo-static patch. I do try to keep an eye out for more significant changes but hey, stuff happens. You chose to disrupt the workflow and now you're here complaining and blaming others for the consequences of your own action.
