Now thinking of how to produce this relationships, I think that I will change my approach to the issues. I'll start to be more aggressive when reviewing a patch or bug. Aggressive in the sense of asking/commenting/proposing even if I don't get the full grasp of the issue. This could lead to a better interaction on the mid/long term, even if in the short it appears to increase the noise a little.

I think this is exactly right. If you don't understand a certain aspect, don't hesitate to ask. Maybe the submitter doesn't understand either, and it was a flaw in the patch, or maybe there is a real issue, and the submitter forgot to comment it properly - it's always the submitter's fault if you don't understand :-)

Regards, Martin
