I disagree. When I write a patch to introduce an additional feature, I
don't have to publish it. The only reason to upload it to the wiki is to
help other people to have an easier time, if they want the same feature.
Let the next person fix broken patch versions, in stead of punishing
people who provide patches with additional workload.
