I guess that the discussed "story" affects more challenges in communication
and different opinions about where to invest software development attention.

I imagine that there are a few improvement possibilities left over.

This advice is generally fine.

I guess that this expectation can become a research topic for some knowledge fields,
can't it?

There are update suggestion where the probability for acceptance is higher
than for others.

Some maintainers have got their own difficulties with changes when they categorise
them as "ordinary clean-up".

Thanks for your general interest.


> you seems to be describing what the patch does

My collection of update suggestions is evolving over some source code search patterns.

I find that this approach fits to the recommended imperative wording style
according to document "SubmittingPatches", doesn't it?

I dared also some deviations or variations already.


> as opposed to why it does it and why should one find it interesting/wanted.

I am trying to express also this information to some degree.
