In most cases, this "accepted way" leads to no change in the package and
is only frustrating for the submitter of the patch and Goswin's proposal
addresses such cases. I like the idea a lot [1] and am sure that this
will improve the overall quality of Debian.

Footnotes:
[1] Mainly because i've sent some patches to the BTS, and only *one*
maintainer ("only" a NM!) answered my mails (and included most of
the patches).
