The double standard might not come from you, perhaps you subject all the patches you review to the same standard, it comes from the fact that the patches you review have an unfair disadvantage. > But hey, if you want to have paranoid fantasies that I'm persecuting you > (by writing the longer commit messages for you!), go ahead. You don't persecute me, you persecute my patches. I could almost picture the moment you see a patch is coming from me, you have already decided to rewrite the commit message, even before reading it. Antoine is not me, so you simply didn't review that patch. > If you don't want me to review your patches, that's fine by me, too; our > discussions often end up frustrating, and it's clear we do not agree on > very much with respect to process or design.

As for you, I think your reviews have value, but I also think you dwelling in irrelevant details do slow things down, which is not too bad, what is bad is that you assume that your opinions are facts (e.g. the commit message need to be bigger), and get angry when somebody disagrees with them.
