AFAIR at the beginning there was some spikes on group with me involved but 
this was due to lack of wiki. Then I learned how group works and keep my 
alternative improvements at home not bothering anybody (e.g. udev). If I 
argued I had something important in mind (in case of writing code, not 
organizational one). Now I do not care. Just post working improvements which 
I use because I think I should contribute to distro I use. If patches will be 
changed or broken later this is not my fault, whatever you do will be fine. 
Lunar is designed in such genious way that I do not have to agree to every 
code which comes in with lunar update. Every module I update post 3 times (1 
time per version update) and watch response. Then mark it as 'ignored' if 
there is none to not bother with it anymore the ML. Just keep it for myself 
and interested persons. Thanks to this I'm not considered as kind of spammer 
flooding group with not needed updates. Thanks to these rules everybody is 
happy because there is no more hundreds of ideas 'how to improve something in 
lunar' or module update flood and there is less ML messages to read everyday.
If someone feels bad because of my early 'too much rough' active development 
then I say: Sorry. I was always arguing having good will in mind.
