I think that is totally not true.. you can't tell if a person is a hacker just because they do a couple of good patches..
You can't tell for sure. For all you know, you could argue that I (Zeev) might be an undercover Bin Laden agent, in one of the most successful undercover missions in history, trying to bring down the entire imperialistic American web. Possible, but unlikely. I gather that someone committing legitimate patches may still be a hacker, but the likelihood goes down, significantly.
