I prefer to not munge other people's patches if the modification will involve more than ten lines and if I know the original submitter can be trusted to do the right thing. I would rewrite other's patch myself heavily _only_ after I tried the usual "suggest to improve" and found that it would not be worth my time to wait for yet more rounds that would require more suggestions, major part of which will eventually be forgotten or ignored again, iow, when I sense that the communication with the contributor is hopelessly inefficient. Needless to say, you have been here long enough to be in the "trusted" category. Thanks.
