Oh, this is easy: if I maintain something myself, I don't ask anyone, I just commit whatever seems appropriate to me, and that's it. When I send patches for emacs UI to the mailing list, it's like I ask permissions to modify a part of code I wrote. Also I always have a bad feeling that I load Ludovic (who is the only person reviewing these patches) with a useless additional work. Finally, I feel like I clog the mailing list with my patches. Sometimes I want to make some small change, but then I think: =C2=ABAh, it's not so big, no one will ever notice it anyway, so I wouldn't bother people with it.=C2=BB (although recently myglc2 noticed several such things :-)) --=20 Alex
