    Sometimes things look simple but have complex knock-on effects, and it takes an expert to notice that there’s anything that might be a problem. At least none times or of ten, there’s no problem and it looks like someone’s wasting their time, but it occasionally saves a much bigger headache later.

      No doubt, but not always, and sometimes the person making the patch already is an expert and I trust them. There are times when a pull request is not necessary. Just apply the patch. Especially if it is the same patch applied across many repositories.

      Process for a good reason? Great. Process for the sake of rote process? Not as great.
