Yeah, just file a bug and let whomever else deal with it. Whatever text is proposed, it will be rejected in favor of what the person with check-in privileges wants.

Be a bit more patient. A person may be busy with other tasks including patches from other people and has no time to explain why a suggested change may be confusing as well. They may be trying to preserve your authorship in git history. They may be unsure concerning proper wording and testing if alternatives may be interpreted incorrectly. It might help to express expectations explicitly.
Finally it is reality that not all proposed patches are applied even if you invest your time preparing them.
