I do not think the problem is in this area. Nobody questioned the
interest or the necessity of the patch. It is just that, when somebody
says "just merge it when you have 10 minutes", you expect that the
person has re-read it to make sure that it will not remove some recent
unrelated patches. You expect anyway that the person has re-read it to
make sure that he did it right (that would catch the problem above).
You expect that he has re-read it to produce a commit log that is
synthetic and that will helpfully explain what is going on (that
would catch the two problems above, surprise!).

Abdel, you asked at some time whether you have to prove yourself. I do
not think anybody on this list doubts of you programming skill. I
guess what makes things difficult is more a problem of attitude. I had
to literally get the information bit by bit to be able to know what
your intent was with child document (yes, the kind of "read the code;
if you do not understand it, then it is not something that conerns
you" discourse is not very useful).
