All that is requested from you is to stop being overly defensive about
the commit message that you wrote, and to write another one, which is
more representative of the real life impact that your change has, in
light of the facts that were pointed out during review. Nobody is out to
get you. Open source projects are a collaborative effort, and your part
is to accept that your work can be improved, when given clear and
specific indications from reviewers who have looked at the same problem
as you from an angle independent from yours. If you're so sure that you
cannot improve your work by yourself and ask for this passive-aggressive
hand holding from reviewers, I don't know why you don't just set up your
git trees where there's no review, and that's that.

I don't know why I'm wasting my time to point this out to you, you have
more experience with open source projects than I do, so you should know
better, yet your attitude is completely unproductive.

To me, this topic is closed. You have accused me of having an improper
tone towards you, but you have not explained what was wrong with it,
even when pressed to. I am wasting my time.
