Okay.

That's what I find strange. When I attach a patch to the wish the maintainer 
gets a mail, right? So why do I have to send him the patch again? 

I'm being so pedantic about this, because I told a few people on kde-devel in 
the past that when they don't want to see their patches get overlooked they 
should attach it to a bug report. This of course doesn't make sense when the 
maintainer chooses to ignore the bugzilla messages.

When you tell me to just send it always directly to the maintainer, I'm fine 
with that (even when there are some maintainers that choose to ignore those 
mails too).

I wish I had more time besides working on Cervisia. :-(

Thanks for the feedback!
