I talked with other committers these days and I must admit that I was
wrong, so I sent new patches for PRs that I am dealing with and if the
submitter or maintainer does not reply, I can use the timeout for resolve
these issues in a better way .

Did not want to disrespect or offend anyone's and bsam@ and danfe@ comments
were very well received by me and I see this as constructive criticism,
just as you did it now.

I know the efforts of those who are conducting a cleanup in CATEGORIES
(e.g. OPTIONS). I think I include something wrong in these categories that
have already been corrected, would be wrong.

Thanks
