Isn&#x27;t that why Github has forking? If people recognize that you&#x27;ll accept more updates to your fork than the original, then maybe your will become the defacto proper one. If not, at least you fixed it for yourself and all your friends who trust you.<p>If you don&#x27;t like that you&#x27;ll then have to include the original author&#x27;s future changes in yours, then, well, you&#x27;re doing just what he was - not wanting to spend time managing other people&#x27;s things.
