David, please calm down, and don't write emails that can sound like you
are attacking your reviewers on list.  Assume good intent - Philippe
reviewed your patch with the same level of scrutiny as many other
patches he reviews, and his question for your previous patch revision
about whether you intended to change the copyright year was not an
attack, but an honest question.

Open source works best when anyone feels like they can contribute.
Copyright lines are an interesting beast - they carry legal
significance, so care should be taken that they aren't changed by
mistake, but at the same time, you do not have to know the code that the
copyright is protecting to ask an honest question about whether a change
is intentional.
