Yes, I agree there's a bit of hyperbole on those tweets (otherwise we wouldn't be discussing it here).

For example:

As in, fixing one character typos?

If he didn't really want to follow the process to contribute, a bug report would have been fine (which is what finally happened, reading the PR).

He ended the PR with "I unfortunately feel that I've already exhausted the amount of energy I can dedicate to this", but he had some energy left to write that twitter thread.
