I am listening to some degree. - I guess that I am making some decisions and conclusions in a way that you would prefer to be different. I know that my update suggestions won't be liked by all contributors. > It seems to me your patch proposals have a relatively high > unapplied patch percentage I agree here. - This impression can occur for a while. I find that this situation is hardly avoidable according to my evolving number of update suggestions. In which time frames do you look for the corresponding software development process? > and there is an increase in the number of upstream maintainers that ignore you. It's a pity. - I hope that the corresponding software development can still be continued in constructive ways. > Yes, the overall number of patches should be minimized when > the suggested patches are highly related. I have got a special opinion about patch squashing. But I can consider it also for this update step when a corresponding consensus could be achieved between contributors. Regards, Markus
