Funny you'd say that, I only opened that can of worms because the
maintainers complained that it was not the first time you committed
stuff to the graphics stack without waiting for maintainer approval.

So, let me repeat. Do not, ever again, commit to a port maintained by
x11@ without their explicit approval, and I mean, someone saying, in a
PR "ok, please commit".

The maintainer said "NO", three times to you in that PR.  Yes, a
maintainer can delay, or refuse your patches.  If that is not clear
enough, I am not sure what could be.
