Where did I say that?

And instead of judging me, look from the reviewer's and maintainer's
point of view. The patch is unreviewable and has not good
maintainability in this form as it does a few things at once.

Also the commit message is poorly written as it has no mention about use cases.

I don't think I bikeshed here too much. This is the regular asking the
reviewers and/or maintainers usually do, so is it too hard to split?
