No one is doubting your overall contributions Markus.

The issue is one of communication and the way reviews are conducted.

Reviewing other people's work is challenging and requires a certain
skill-set, of which _excellent_ communication skills are non-negotiable.

Why not concentrate on more complex submissions for a while and grow
your repertoire of common review points, rather than repeating the same
few over and over?  Reading other, more experienced maintainer's reviews
would also be a good use of your time.
