Comment 10 for bug 278541

If you don't have time or don't want to forward your contribution to upstream developers, please simply mention it. However don't assume that I "must" do it or don't turn your sentences to a personal attack, don't forget that this is community collaboration. Your comments are not collaborative and respectful : http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct

I use to triage bugs, and I often forward bugs upstream. In this particular case, I already mentioned that your work might require you to work with upstream gnucash people so if you're not willing to collaborate with them so your contribution can get improved and included in gnucash, I will still forward your patches to gnucash but I can predict that something will be missing in the bug report : you. I'm asking you to work with gnucash developers in respect of the work you already done, not because I don't want to do it. It would have been pretty easier to forward it upstream without a word than trying to explain you why your contribution is important.

Your patch fixes documentation, so that's the kind of thing that often requires discussion. If your patch would fix a crash bug, all required steps would already have been taken to test it and consider it for upstream gnucash and for ubuntu. However code and documentation are different things, and uploading this change in ubuntu only is just counterproductive for both ubuntu and gnucash. Don't forget that ubuntu is a distribution. The goal is to work with upstream projects, not only to work on ubuntu.

So I'm forwarding your bug upstream, it will take 3 minutes. Don't forget that the most important if you want to help gnucash project is your own collaboration.
