Neither did i. You don't need to do that! If you put enough effort into it
your work speaks for itself. We never engaged in that kind of tactics.

The only thing i did was that i made several versions. Each more complete
and debugged than the previous one, announcing it in the mailing-list,
and discussing it, up to the point it got accepted. If you
notice most patches that get accepted are processed in this way. Unless
its a one liner bugfix or something like that.
I had the advantage the code i did didn't touch much on everything else.
That made accepting that change easier.
