These are orthogonal issues. People are always welcome to improve the codebase, 
but small PRs are essential for a healthy codebase. And it will actually be 
**less* work for the author, because the patches will be able to merge sooner 
than a mega-patch (quicker review, less conflicts, less CI checks).

Also, issues like the one that was brought up in this patch are less likely to 
be found on a mega-patch.

Last, such a mega-patch generates a lot of review noise for everyone involved 
since every interaction generates a notification/email for everyone, even if 
it's unrelated to their subproject.

Doing this in N patches is trivial and I don't think it's requiring much of the 
author.
