I followed the explicit rules. The whole point of "Just fix it" is that one is not required to communicate with the maintainer first. The blanket was introduced both to streamline the process to result in faster fixes and to remove unnecessary obstacles that some maintainers were famous for erecting. As part of "Just fix it", it is suggested to let the maintainer know for awareness purposes, which I did, but that is not required. Please, nobody insulted you. The intention was to serve the community and do you a favor. I am saddened that you do not appreciate this gesture, but you can at least be a bit happy that your port is now available on all platforms, which is really the important thing, no? John
