14 Original user's request [1], my PR [2], commit in question [3], bug: [4].
15 I've addressed a user's issue and reported a bug to Gentoo bugzilla the following day.
16 I don't see a problem with my workflow.

29 You expect me to create bugs the very second I encounter smth resembling a problem
30 without doing at least some minimum research on the matter? I don't do this.
31 I made the commit around 1 AM localtime, went to sleep,
32 and at 9 AM localtime you already jumping to conclusions in g-dev ML.

40 You are quite emotional because of a change that didn't make it to the tree yet
41 expecting other people to provide 24/7 level of support for some reason.
42 At least this is how I see things from here.

44 No official policy is required.
