It is a honest question.It's just an alternative personal style.
I have the same opinion. I also think that if a package has a maintainer the maintainer's personal style should be respected. That is the social thing said before. Do a fix is collab maint. Set my personal style in many other packages that I am not directly responsible for is not. I understand a minor cleanup that is done directly in the repository. But doing a patch you pay attention to the fix.
