I prefer to have patches reviewed and when I sent out patches for
my own subsystem I often do not get any reviews at all. From my
experience people often like to increase their patch count anyways
(e.g. because their employer wanting to see high patch count), so
asking others to write the patch is an easy workaround for me. I
then only do the leftovers.
