What are you talking about? Developers are committing many patches per day, even on holidays (see e.g. our GitHub Pulse or our dashboard). This is a ridiculous accusation. Also, I translate for Mozilla and cosmetic changes are something that happens every day. Why is it so controversial here to try to fix the strings? It’s user experience and perception, which in my book matters a lot. Everyone please have this in mind: for better or worse, many of our developers aren’t native speakers and can’t contribute high-quality English strings the first time they land a patch, so we inevitably have to iterate. While I’m conscious that our tooling isn’t the best and does lead to wasted time over repetitive actions, I would—as a translator who contributes to Mozilla, Ubuntu, Fedora and many smaller projects—appreciate a little understanding that any software in continuous development IS BOUND TO CHANGE.
