Giving up upstream-ing my patches & feel free to pick them up

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear your adventure with the OCA submission system wasn't 
as fun as you hoped it could be.

As far as I can see, your first submission was on January 21 and marked 
as rejected (by me) on January 23rd. The second one was on January 24th 
and rejected (by me) on January 30th, after a thread we had about what 
needs to be corrected between January 25th and January 30th.

Since you had some problems with the submissions system, I asked you to 
get in touch with the opensource team that runs the OCA submission system.

Unfortunately, I do not see any further submissions from an 'xtex' 
address in the OCA system. I don't know why that's the case, if you've 
submitted another OCA for review later. But if it's not in the OCA 
system's queue for review, it can't be reviewed (by me).

If you'd still like to submit a fresh OCA I'd be happy to review the new 
submission, of course.

cheers,
