This is sort of typical to have different approaches.

However, your patches *are* accepted. Why do you complain?
You want them to be accepted in exactly the form you proposed?

In my experience, it usually is much worse than that
in many projects: I send a patch and it gets ignored
or rejected on some non-technical grounds.

Best case is when I work on creating the patch for a day and
then it takes weeks or months to get it applied.

That's what I call "punishment".

You did not include a bloatcheck output. Please resubmit.

Just kidding.

That would be a classic answer from e.g. run of the mill GNU project.
I once got "Your changelog does not have two spaces between date and your name".

Applied, thanks.

Then I renamed old option GETOPT_LONG to LONG_OPTS, it matches
the meaning closer and does not look so similar
to your ENABLE_FEATURE_GETOPT_LONG.
