When you propose things, and implement them, fine. That's your decision.
When you propose things and I implement them, also fine. That's my
decision. But please don't expect me to just follow commands. That's not
my nature at all. Sorry.

Please don't over-interpret things I actually didn't say at all. Every
patch is welcome, including things you propose, and from other
contributors. When I see conflicts in the code, I will state that clearly.

This is also your interpretation of things, and your own decision. Not
discussed with me.

PS: I consider Debian itself the primary source of Debian packages and
will continue to do so. When people ask specific questions about those,
I'll answer accordingly.

PPS: If you consider your tone as helpful towards positive motivation of
contributors, please rethink.
