This is probably the root of our misunderstanding: my comment was never about the quality of the patch itself. The thing is, to me, a contribution is first and foremost an interaction between humans. So I am judging the quality of the interaction here, not of the code contribution. A "code dump" is a bad interaction, it means the contributor did not care about sharing their intentions with me, and did not care with me wasting my time working on something they temselves were already working on. But a bad interaction does not mean the contributed patch itself is bad. I value the interaction more than the code contribution, but this is all a personal choice. I won’t judge other Debian actors who are in here for the code more than for the humans, I get that Debian is not a social experience for everyone, and neither should it be. But then these people and I have visions of "contributing to Debian" that are far too different for a collaboration between us to be nice for either side. So time would be better spent for everyone if they chose other packages to contribute to. PS: To prevent further confusion, I just disabled MR on all my Salsa repostiories. I’m going to take some time to write a contributing guide for my packages and include it in debian/README.source, that would then be displayed instead of the (mostly useless) upstream readme file on Salsa. Only then I am going to consider re-opening MR.
