So it boils down to disagreements about two things:
- mentioning a bug number when posting a patch
I think this is a misunderstanding. There are different ways of adding
the bug number when posting a patch:
Very BAD:
---------
Changelog: This fixes bug #4711
BAD:
----
Changelog: Change the handling of flags X Y Z because this fixes bug #4711
OK:
---
Changelog: Change a corner case in the handling of flags X Y Z (with tests).
This resolve the issue from bug #4711.
The bug number is *only* additional information. It isn't the
justification for a patch and definitely not the sole changelog.
