I am/was a semi-perfectionist maintainer. If I subject others to my standards, it's annoying for them. If I hold my nose and merge it anyway, I feel the pressure to clean it up before the release. Which burns me out, so I avoid doing this.

Or you could just accept the help from others--crediting them in your bug tracker or, at most, in some CONTRIBUTORS file--but add the perfection yourself?

That's point #2 that I mentioned, also burns me out, nags me.
