I also encouraged multiple easily reviewable PRs from you.  Please
continue.

Preening a large codebase is not only a good thing, but encourages familiarity:
not only with the code, but with the opaque and worst-documentend parts of the
software development processes: the maintenance lifecycle.  The fact people are
assuming bad faith and spilling ink about those getting involved with that
extremely-underserved part when contributors are sorely needed is
counter-productive.

It would be better if more people contributed small changes and thus became
low-friction contributors who don't require a lot of mentoring.
