patch author importer whoever brings this patch in into oe. Sometimes

Thats not the intention at all. All patches should go upstream from
OE's POV it would be cool to have 0 patches locally
If someone had better insights into patches and submit more
appropriate analysis of patches thats welcome
all the time.
