More like uploading patches with known problems.  The notehead merging
code would have given wrong results with pretty much every test merging
noteheads.  It's not like you missed out on running the regressions test
suite: you did not apparently run any file relevant to the patch, and
ignored the reviews repeatedly.

Plenty.  Overall, the discipline has increased a lot in recent months,
but partly because the procedures have been streamlined, partly because
I was the one running the tests and tend to be somewhat less linear in
my response than a karma point system.
