When you take on the task of fixing a bug in a package you don't maintain, |
| 11 |
you are responsible for the whole task, not just the part you want to do. |

You essentially become the maintainer for that change. So just do what you |
| 13 |
would do if it really was your package. |

And really I don't care if you upstream the patch or not, but when the |
| 16 |
maintainer politely asks you to do so the correct response is "okay", not "do |
| 17 |
it yourself". |
