I'm afraid it was poorly expressed.

My comment goes to the rationale you gave not the decision you made.

Regarding the decision, it's a choice between "explicit is better than 
implicit" and "brevity is better than redundancy". The patch opted for the 
former, you opted for the latter. I also have an opinion, but I'm not the 
maintainer so I'll keep it to myself.

Regarding the rationale, a maintainer who merely follows the majority is 
not actually doing code review. This will lead to mediocrity.
