I am hoping that I have managed to be as annoying as you are for things
which really don't matter as much in this pull request [1]. You gave up so
fast, but other people like me trying to contribute to tryton usually give
up only after a few more attempts of trying to communicate with you.

Let us all be more welcoming to changes and contributions. Most people
contribute only when they are happy about it - and sending a patch to
you has not been the happier of things I get to do everyday (remember
the design/styling of Sao I worked on ?). It is not difficult because, you
are strict on coding standards, but the unnecessarily lengthy process and
unwelcome approach. For a change, here are some fruitful thoughts on
how to encourage people for contribution.
