Original user's request [1], my PR [2], commit in question [3], bug: [4].
I've addressed a user's issue and reported a bug to Gentoo bugzilla the 
following day.
I don't see a problem with my workflow.

Please share a link to this policy as I was unable to find it neither here [5], 
nor here [6].

You expect me to create bugs the very second I encounter smth resembling a 
problem
without doing at least some minimum research on the matter? I don't do this.
I made the commit around 1 AM localtime, went to sleep,
and at 9 AM localtime you already jumping to conclusions in g-dev ML.

You are quite emotional because of a change that didn't make it to the tree yet
expecting other people to provide 24/7 level of support for some reason.
At least this is how I see things from here.

No official policy is required.
