Given that situation, I try and find the time to teach the original poster how to rewrite it the way I think it would be better implemented - with the understanding that if they don't want to, it's my responsibility to do so.

Then again, if I can't sell them successfully on why my way would be better ... maybe I should just have accepted their code.

This takes more time over the short term but in the long term lets me give out more commit bits, which I regard as a net win.
