As a package maintainer, who quite often sees trivial bug reports with
fix suggestions or patches attached, I often wish I could just silently
agree (or disagree with a git revert) with a change that someone else
pushed or maybe a pull the fix from a branch instead of manually
applying a change from Bugzilla.
