My spam filters are fine. I saw your emails where you basically said
that you are too lazy to setup a VM to test your patches and that your
time is more valuable than mine, which is why I should be testing them.
Stop making your problems our problems. It's hardly the first time. If
you are unable to test your patches, then invest the time in fixing your
setup instead of submitting completely broken patches and making it our
problem to test and fix them. I refuse to invest time in reviewing /
testing / reworking your submissions as long as you insist on doing less
than the bare minimum.

Good luck
