I did intend the 'dubious' comment as a throwaway comment.  Not having 
seen the patches I could only take cues from the context.   There should 
be no reason to be wary of submitting patches to trac if they enhance 
functionality or fix problems.  No reason whatsoever.  In fact a good 
few nice little tweaks to mythtv have come in the shape of user 
submitted code as well as from the usual suspects and that should 
continue to be encouraged :)

I'm seriously considering adding a disclaimer to my sig, just to make 
sure whatever I say isn't taken as being an 'official' view of the project.
