If you noticed I pointed out other testsuite regressions than
just yours. If I had posted the patch (not being a global write
maintainer) and it caused the regressions, people would be on my
back right now asking for them to be fixed. I reported the failures
3 weeks ago thinking they would be fixed right away. I did the
same for the C++ testsuite failures I saw too. Lets look at this a
different way. So you missed a couple of failures while bootstrapping
and testing, right. The normal term of action is to fix them within
48 as mentioned on the policy page. Now maybe you don't want to follow
the policy as you see your self higher than the Steering committee but
that is not true.
Testsuite failures are annoying as make people quickly think they patch
is causing regressions. I can already point one example with the tree-ssa
testsuite failures already. In PR 26406, comment #6 and 7:

There is no regressions here as this test is already failing before your patch,
see PR 26344.
