> Get serious. Nobody's going to look into forks

At this point you just sound like you want to complain. I was saying that opening a PR is a nice way to share a patch, and all you get from it is an opportunity to complain about how difficult it may be to find a patch in a fork.

> Yeah, but if I have moral standards and care about not wasting those interested people's time

This has nothing to do with moral standards. I have benefitted multiple times from old, unmerged, outdated PRs. Because if someone fixes a bug, the valuable part is understanding what is going wrong and how to fix it. An outdated PR saves me that time.

> If I didn't do that, then I would be a hypocrite.

Not at all. You just have a very weird way to look at it.
