Before reporting a bug, you should try stripping down your Vim configuration and removing other plugins. The sad truth about VimScript is that it is fraught with incompatibilities waiting to happen. I'm happy to work around them where I can, but it's up to you to isolate the conflict.

If your commit message sucks, I'm not going to accept your pull request. I've explained very politely dozens of times that my general guidelines are absolute rules on my own repositories, so I may lack the energy to explain it to you yet another time. And please, if I ask you to change something, git commit --amend.

Beyond that, don't be shy about asking before patching. What takes you hours might take me minutes simply because I have both domain knowledge and a perverse knowledge of VimScript so vast that many would consider it a symptom of mental illness. On the flip side, some ideas I'll reject no matter how good the implementation is. "Send a patch" is an edge case answer in my book.
