Can’t tell if this is satire. Have you tried submitting a patch?

100% fun satire + a loving shoutout to all the folks who maintain GH projects that start as a labor of love and a desire to share with the community. Please don't let the triage of silly demands like this fictional one destroy your spirit.

More devs need to be good to OSS maintainers. Breaks my heart when I see folks treat public repos and GH issues as a service desk and not a collaboration! (Not saying anyone is doing that for this fun project, but a message I'll use any excuse to promote. Btw... that issue filed was I think someone genuinely helping the project.)

This is also well said, and on point.-

I can't tell if THIS is satire...

Everything is satire, if you're not the one on call.
