this will not work, because from the past I know, that most developers
need day to weeks (sometimes months) until they review such a thing
and then its mostly to late, because the patch did no longer apply.
Then comes the next request "can you please make a new patch - this one
does not work for me" .... sorry this is a lot of wasted time -
some patches in the past I have done 3-4 times - thats not acceptable,
when I could fix things on the other way in minutes.
