Hi, Dan-san,

Thank you for your patch. I have one comment.

Here, I think that more positive sentence is desirable to encourage new comer.

Certainly, I can imagine that maintainer is hard and tough work,
but I believe it is great work.
Even if this is irony or joke, then it may be cause of miss-understanding
(especially, non-native English speaker like me.)

In addition, new coming developer is sometimes nervous 
to post new mail/patch. If this text will be changed for new comer, 
then I think this text will be good to encourage them.
So, I think more positive expression is desirable.

Thanks,
