Hi Lina :) I don't know the code so I cannot comment on whether the maintainer rejected the patch rightly or wrongly. Sometimes 5 lines of code take longer to review that 500 and have a bigger impact.
That said, I was referring to the quote from the article ("making the API intrinsically safe [...] appears not to be on his radar") which seemed to be about more than your patch—especially considering the words of Dave Airlie, it seems to be something that requires a lot of study and planning. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not those 5, in my opinion.
