Err, you managed to create _three_ bugs in your trivial cleanup
patches and that's not irrelevant at all. That's a sign of sloppiness
and a pretty good reason not to trust any of your patches at all.

Right, and he is correct about that. This is not the first time and
you have been asked to be more careful with your patches several times
in the last months. It's _you_ who is not listening and not caring at
all.

Ingo did clean up _your_ mess and there was no mistake at all. He
blames _you_ correctly that _your_ trivial patches are buggy.

There is no misuse at all. Ingo is doing what a responsible maintainer
does: reviewing patches and fixing them up when necessary. 

His decision not to take any more cleanup patches from you is just the
result of your unwillingness to listen and to react on the requests
which were made to you from Ingo, myself and others.

Thanks,
