But we are not talking about a "package handler" but rather a "Package
Handler".  If you are _capitalizing_ "Package Handler", it is a title
rather than a description.  The only language I know where
capitalization implies anything than a "proper noun" or a sentence
beginning is German.

English is your native language, so I am at a loss that you can't see
the difference between "Patch Handler" and "patch handler".

I am also at a loss how you can consider every patch submitter to be in
charge of handling the entire review process.

Where would that leave the Patch Meister?

At any rate, there is no point in discussing just how it is possible to
misinterpret the text in this manner short of considering its authors to
have been writing under the influence.

If we can make it even more clear, there is no point in not doing so.
Which is the same as with writing code.
