I also have commit rights. But as for patches. It's best to keep patches
which are sent to the list as small as possible and to fix or add a single
feature. It makes responses faster and targetted to the interested party.

Sending a hundred kilobyte patch that makes many chanegs is very hard to
review, regardless of whether it's to a list or to a single person.
