This view sounds positive.


> Previously, I was happy and looking forward to providing patches to the community.

Such feedback is nice.


> But when I noticed that you were sending similar patches over and over again,

This can be an usual effect from the application of known source code
analysis approaches.


> I realized that if I want to increase my patch count,

I suggest to reconsider corresponding development goals.


> I would not be able to reuse some files I had already found,

in similar areas.

* Would you like to clarify opportunities for further contributions?

* Do you find globally distributed collaboration interesting?


> which made me sad.

* I find your feeling unfortunate.

* I hope that your view can become more positive again.


> So,thank you for giving me a lesson.

I imagine that possibilities can be improved also for teaching and education.
