It's not the case. Every project has its contribution rules (I reckon xen-devel is no exception). It takes some time to set everything up in order to contribute in accordance with the rules, but that's a one time cost for every contributor. If we encouraged drive-by patches without regard to the process, then it would be a constant cost for long term participants / maintainers. I do agree with you on two points -- I find these unjustified / gratuitous burdens: - the Contributed-under line - having to subscribe to the mailing list in order to post The first is alas a legal requirement, and I can't do anything about it. Luckily, it can be automated at least. See for example https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Laszlo's-unkempt-git-guide-for-edk2-contributors-and-maintainers#contrib-07 The second (the subscription requirement) is terrible. No other open source project I'm aware of follows that requirement. I've raised it several times, but other subscribers on the list disagree with me. > I'm done with it. I'm sorry to hear that. I don't really see why you can't post a v2 of your patch, with all the remarks addressed, considering you will likely carry such a patch in your downstream anyway. I encourage you to send a v2.
