git is meant for using branches but not necessarily for creating a
public branch when you fix a typo. People create patches against master
in bugzilla usually even if we could use pull-requests possibly but this
hasn't been used that. So making this inconvenient is breaking the
workflow.

owen:

"However, the external dependency mechanism is really meant to be there
for something that is already out there, that already has a stable
version that we can depend upon and that provides the features we need,
and that has a development community and process that are going to run
independent of GNOME. It's not meant for something that is being
cooperatively developed in tandem with GNOME features."

You turning his words round. Read the last sentence...
