But you're asking me to wait for stuff to be reviewed. Like it or not
that means: one big patch. Or no patches at all: if I have to bore
myself with patching and unpatching, diffing, cross-tree commits, et
cetera, I'll just go play with frontends/qt2/ instead of messing around
in the core. The administration of doing "nice" patches is just way too
tedious.

And what is the point when people are committing patches that are known
to be broken anyway ? (cut and paste, bibitem). At least I *try* to not
purposefully introduce bugs.

If you review a patch and don't like something, you either say "no way",
or "do it this way instead". The fact it's committed doesn't stop you
doing that. If the whole house of cards is crap in your opinion then I
can just back them all out again ... so what's the difference ?

Half of the patches I do wait for review for are just ignored anyway !

But I would have committed that anyway, and it's trivially "correct"
