Hi list, I got this in the mail this evening. Sigh. Not sure how to best respond.

To the best of my knowledge, those changes allow one to make a few changes that affect how the scanner *hardware* processes the image data before that data arrives at the SANE scanner "driver". Whether any of that functionality is actually used is not something that the SANE scanner "driver" controls. This is controlled by the software that uses the SANE scanner "driver". @Tyler> Considering your GitLab and GitHub profiles, I don't think you have a lot to contribute to the SANE Project. Therefore, I'll deny your request to join the project. Feel free to submit an issue[1] explaining in some detail what you intend to contribute if you still want to join anyway.
