>Eli Schwartz is an absolute treasure. Because Arch strongly prefers to ship unmodified upstream projects, Eli pops up all over the place fixing bugs upstream.

Not to diminish the work of Eli, but several Arch package maintainers end up bugfixing upstream projects to keep sources unpatched. Personally done upstream contributions to several upstreams I maintain in the distribution :)

Of course! I happen to see Eli all over the place, but many others as well.

(I'm not an Arch TU or dev, but I also contribute upstream fixes for AUR packages I maintain)
