Valid point. But sometimes [in my case more relevant to Lazarus project
than FPC project - to be fair] a relatively small patch is contributed, but
then it is totally blown out of proportion - as if it was a total rewrite
of something, which it wasn't. Such actions alienate contributors - ending
up in the project receiving less and less contributions (big or small).
