I like to stress this point. There's been projects that I have written
a patch for to fix or update a feature for that project for my own
personal machine. Then when looking at upstreaming it, if the
procedure is more than simply sending a patch to a mailing list, I
usually stop right there, and just maintain the fix locally. (Note,
this is for simple updates for my personal machine, if this is for
something for work, I spend the time to get it upstream).

Thus, if we want people to send us their fixes, we better keep just an
email with a patch the lowest bar for entry.
