This is about your "[PATCH 1/2] MINOR: crypto: Move aes_gcm_dec
implementation into new file". It does not contain a body, but instead
just a subject.

I skipped the patch (that's why I did not ACK the first, but only the
second one), because it was a very large change of code that was just
moved. Nonetheless I should have noticed the missing body and noted that
during my review.

Please note that I review patches on a voluntary basis. I'm not an
"employed first level reviewer".

The "missing body" Willy was referring to is here, if you'd like to read
up on it:
https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/blob/f82ea4ae4ca4a6fca70a6e874643db887a39f037/CONTRIBUTING#L562-L567

Liking HAProxy and wanting to give something back is my motivation as
well. I am very sorry to see how this experience went for you. If it is
of any help to you: This is definitely not how it usually goes.
