Re: Interest in options for stash -k and -u by default

I am wondering whether this change is something that would even be
considered for being accepted. The patch still needs some work (mainly
documentation and tests), which I'd be happy to do if I knew there was
upstream interest in this work.

There is a canned response for it ;-)

I've seen from time to time people ask "I am thinking of doing this;
will a patch be accepted?  If so, I'll work on it." before showing
any work, and my response always has been:

 (1) We don't know how useful and interesting your contribution would
     be for our audience, until we see it; and

 (2) If you truly believe in your work (find it useful, find writing
     it fun, etc.), that would be incentive enough for you to work
     on it, whether or not the result will land in my tree.  You
     should instead aim for something so brilliant that we would
     come to you begging for your permission to include it in our
     project.
