When a maintainer doesn’t want something that’s totally fine if he doesn’t be a cunt about it.
There are tons of maintainers out there who have poor communication skills who don’t care if you submit a pull request fixing a bug, or raise an issue detailing a bug. They will shrug you off and make you feel like OSS is a waste of time.
Get over yourself and stop getting on your knees to suck him off like he’s some god.
