If your total contributions is below say ~15 lines [1], then we can accept
it *for* *today*, but if you continue to contribute the number of lines
changed is cumulative by author. Please pursue the appropriate path forward
to get copyright assignment, that way we can just accept any patch you post
regardless of length.

Thank you for contributing :-)
