Quoting Otto Kekäläinen (2025-08-14 19:07:02)

I have now witnessed several cases where a maintainer blatantly
ignored the MRs their package received. It is demotivating

Sounds like what you really wanted to say *in good faith* is that it is
blatantly embarrassing that default settings at Salsa make a false
impression towards noecomers that Debian generally acceepts drive-by
patching similar to Github and Gitlab.

I think all he is saying is that the minority of developers that dont
want MRs should change the settings to disable them, isnt that why the
setting is there?

That I regular miss MRs or miss documenting offline collaboration inside an MR does not mean that I don't want them. When I pull a trivial change from an MR and do the commit myself does not mean that I don't want MRs. I am just acting as a package maintainer in the way I am entitled to.

If I wanted a manager telling me what to do in what way, I'd seek employment and get paid for my work.

Greetings
Marc.
