Step 3 of the door changes: a fix that narrows what a project accepts or publishes is now filed as a pull request whose body names exactly what breaks for existing users and offers to narrow or close it, rather than withheld as an issue.

Withholding the patch did not protect the maintainer's judgement, it only removed the author's name from the fix. cisco/libsrtp #822 was diagnosed and filed as an issue under the old rule; another contributor implemented that diagnosis seven hours later and the maintainer merged theirs.

The issue route survives for a policy that requires discussion first and for a runtime behaviour change that breaks a stable major's compatibility promise, and even then the patch is pushed to a branch and linked so the work stays attributable.
