Probably it would feel very similar to submitting a patch for an open
problem that is flawlessly picked up by whatever bug reporting system
$project is currently using and then nobody is taking care of it for
several years?
Or does it feel similar like getting mails saying "Your port is crap. Fix it!"?
Don't patrionise me. I did not intend for something like this to happen.

Sure. But I also would have done it without your explicit, additional,
and frankly somewhat arrogant looking comment. Sergey's mail would
have been completely sufficient.
