FWIW, I would say if a patch is good then it does not matter what he wrote. If it does matter, then it's everyone's loss...

Yes there is a way to do it, but it takes 5 hours to find out how to do it in pd, while it takes 5 minutes to edit the C code so that people can do it in pd in 5 seconds. But most of all it takes 0.5 second to write

Interesting point, but I think it ignores the reality of writing software cooperatively. FLOSS is a social endeavour. If you ignore or purposely violate social niceties you are less likely to have a successful FLOSS system. Culture is important.
It seems obvious to me that in a system of cooperating agents things will work to the mutual benefit of all agents if those agents are friendly, and it will work less efficiently if those agents are hostile.
What I am advocating is more friendliness so that the software we all enjoy will continue to improve in an optimal way.
Cheers,
Chris.
