I agree that Reinette should have been copied. I'm not sure I agree
that sending the patches was wrong by itself.
Canonical gets kicked in the teeth for lack of upstream participation
all the time. I even have some of their enamel on my shoes...
But let's not be too hard on them for making a mistake while trying
to do something that is overall helpful to the community at large.
Just my $0.02...
