OK, look.

Your patches happen to modify code maintained by me.  From my
perspective the value of the changes made by them is marginal.
Nevertheless, I might take them if you made my life somewhat easier,
so I've tried to tell you politely how to do that.

If you're not willing to do it, though, this is where it ends.  And
attempts to convince me that I may not want my life to be easier after
all are not likely to succeed.

Thanks,
Rafael
