I guess technically that’s true, but it cannot possibly take long to learn how to use `git format-patch`, and everyone should already know how to attach a file to an email. Even if you have to spend half an hour reading the entire output of `git format-patch --help`, is that really enough to prevent you from sending your first patch?

Yes.

Ok, let me get this straight. You diagnosed a problem in the Linux kernel. You debugged it and figured out how to fix it. You edited the kernel source code, recompiled it, and tested your fix. After all that, if you have to read a man page you’ll just give up?

That’s seriously lame.

What time is more valuable than that, and I don’t owe it to anyone.

By that same token, there’s no reason for you to expect kernel developers to adopt a different way of working either. Their time is even more valuable than yours.
