Perhaps. But I also recall committing patches that suggested a number of changes necessary for CE (e.g. r46819, from #1495999 by Lukas Dunstan, and r46064, from #1492356, by the same author). I don't recall rejecting a patch from him, but I may have forgotten, or somebody else may have rejected such a patch. I do recall a certain unhappiness with the patches. If you look at http://bugs.python.org/issue1492356, it starts with "This patch contains part of the changes". What would be the rationale for including part of the changes, but not all of them? This appears to be a widespread view of port maintainers: let's try to get some changes in. Apparently, some believe that suggesting fewer changes might be more successful. I feel uncomfortable with that, because I then don't know how many more times they will approach me with another collection of a few changes, and whether learning what the later changes are might have impact on the earlier changes (which I had already accepted).
