Thanks for such a positive response.

Such a view can be reasonable.
The change acceptance varies between involved contributors.

Such a choice depends also on your willingness to clarify and improve
the software situation by better commit messages.

I propose that you can offer patch series with two update steps (for example)
according to the affected function implementation.

1. Add a missing function call for the completion of the desired resource clean-up.

2. Adjust a bit of exception handling code so that it can be better reused
at the end of this function.

I am curious if you are going to answer (my) previous questions and suggestions
(in constructive ways).
