Then he shouldn't pull in the fix. Let it be broken. As soon as someone
complains about it being broken, then bug the maintainer again. "Hey,
this is broken in 4.x, and this looks like the fix for it. Do you
agree?"
I agree that some patches don't need this discussion. Things that are
obvious. Off-by-one and stack-overflow and other bugs like that. Or
another common bug is error paths that don't release locks. These
should just be backported. But subtle fixes like this thread should
default to (not backport unless someones complains or the
author/maintainer acks it).
