I don't mean to be pedantic, but I still think "quickfix" stuff should
be reviewed. I ran in to a spell marked quickfix which needed a bit more
than just a simple "depends openssl." from initial glance, yeah that's
what it needed, but it turns out that the optional depends would work if
- --disable-ssl was specified.

On the other note, I didn't want to imply that we should make it harder
to grant commit access at all. I thought that's how we were doing it
anyway. Let you drop some patches in for a bit, when we like your work
(after explaining things to you as you do stuff) we grant you commit access.

Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to
find easier ways to do something.
