Just to clarify my intentions: I was honestly interested in whether 
people have tried the patch or not. I did not mean to say that people 
*should* have tried the patch. Not even in case someone voted. I know 
people don't have the time or interest to try every patch posted here. 
And that's totally fine. However, I think in that case leaving more time 
for people who are actually interested to discuss is a good idea. And 
things are particularly slow at the moment I guess due to holidays and 
COV-19 related issues. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure that I did not 
mean people to do things they don't want to. However, I tend to argue 
about things if I disagree. That might not be everyone's cup of tea. I 
never mean to force people accept my position. I accept if someone just 
disagree. But I prefer it if I can better understand why.

It seems a bit tricky to get reaction on the list by those who are 
interested to respond without some others who are not really interested 
in discussion feeling called upon as well. I guess the problem is that 
if they do not pitch in then it might be said or thought "Why haven't 
you said earlier that you are against it?" I am not sure how to solve 
that problem. One solution might be to move initial discussions about 
patches to the bug tracker. There many people don't get automatic 
updates and hence the problem is circumvented.
