The patch has been in the MR for eight weeks now. The fzf team has requested minor changes of the typ I'd want from a junior dev to educate them. They seem to be unwilling to do those minor changes themselves and instead expect me to do them. We have been through those motions already twice. What has begun to be an easy drive-by change to fix a trivial bug in a package I don't care to much about has become too much a time-eater for me. The first thing people need to learn when they have others do work for them is that those other people will produce results that are not bit-for-bit identical to what they themselves would have produced. The fzf team can now either accept the MR and sort he files yourself the way they like them in the file, or they can reject the MR and leave the bug rotting away some more years. I also don't have the privileges to remove myself as an "Assignee" from the MR in salsa. Salsa is therefore pestering me with messages that I still have "assignments" to do. This is highly demotivating me from helping with packages using the Salsa MR process, it is too much oriented towards an education or work environment and not enough towards a volunteer organizatio where people have the right to refuse being sent around. I'm done with helping here. Have a nice weekend.
