You don't need to be a Zig expert, but you do need to at least be invested in the Zig ecosystem in some way.

I think it's reasonable for any open source project to only be interested in the opinions of its actual users, especially when obvious social media brigading is taking place.

If I -- having written precisely 5 lines of Rust in my life -- showed up on the Rust issue tracker and started expressing my opinions on the future direction of the project and debating a proposed feature, I would absolutely expect people to be annoyed about the noise I'm generating.
