&gt; I recognise the frustration!  When I first started trying to send patches
&gt; I had similar issues (white space wrapping/reflow etc)
 &gt; [...]

I am just trying to get an obvious, trivial issue fixed. I can fix it in 2 seconds on my PC. It is very frustrating. As a voluntary contributor, it 
takes the fun out of it. I am guessing that you and I are not the only ones that got frustrated at the beginning. It is probably hindering other 
contributions as well. It is probably the reason why so many little things stay unfixed for years even though many people must notice them every day.

Other projects take such small patches without a blink. Maybe not directly applying the patch, but just fixing the issue themselves straight away.

I have only seen one other open-source project so frustrating: OpenOCD. You also have to follow a long procedure to set your system up in order to 
contribute patches:

http://openocd.org/doc/doxygen/html/patchguide.html

But then it is almost worth it. Gerrit tells you whether your patch compiles, and even whether it conflicts with another patch (and which one). You 
get notifications and reviews, and you can comment directly there.

But thanks for your hint about &quot;git send-email&quot;. I'll see if I can put together enough motivation to try again.

Regards,
   rdiez
