And I put a polite "please come and talk to us" response on the PR. I haven't closed it yet; we'll see how the contributor responds.

I'll move this part of the discussion to a new thread, as I requested.

We should put something there that points to this one of these pages,
and leave it at that:

    https://subversion.apache.org/contributing.html
    https://subversion.apache.org/reporting-issues.html

We have never encouraged throwing patches at us without discussion and I
would be against starting now. If I were to respond there, it would be
to reject the pull request and post one of those links as the reason.
However some people might not agree with such a blunt approach, so I'm
not going to do anything.

I only responded to this thread to point out that the patch is clearly
wrong, or at least most of it is. Which isn't surprising, given that it
was created without any discussion and apparently with very little
attempt at understanding.

We should discuss that in another thread. Bearing in mind that "we" (the ASF) set up that medium, what matters on this thread is that a user kindly offered us a patch.

Could you respond to the user, on github, or would you prefer someone else to?

Before anyone starts saying that GitHub PR's are the wrong medium for
sending patches: the changes themselves are mostly irrelevant, and those
that add the "lang" attribute where it's not allowed by the DTD are
actually wrong.
