I suggest you stop proposing over and over useless comments.
Please just ignore my proposals as I do for your boring, never 
constructing, replies.

I propose to let patch submitter and maintainer decide about it.
I don't need your point of view. I guess that maintainers don't either.

Best regards,
CJ
