> just cannot be bothered dealing with "you're doing it wrong" comments when my fix isn't deemed worthy.

Please just post it. Ignore comments. Your fix will most likely prompt them to write their own fix for the same thing in the following weeks or months. They may not even mention you or use your single line of code in their branch but it's you that gave them ideas and belief that problem can be fixed.

If you want to get things done on the internet then post your almost right solution and look at all the people that rush to correct you.
