@hopeless @etsyy @jk @kolya This is extremely strange framing. Nobody is requiring the maintainer to engage with these reports. They're contributions because they highlight a problem that the maintainer most likely wasn't aware of yet, with details on the cause that the maintainer most likely didn't have. That is a contribution. And presumably the maintainer cares about improving their project, about fixing the issues in it, they chose to maintain it for a reason. Framing it as "something the reporter cares about" as if it's just an assigned chore for the maintainer and isn't likewise something they care about, is a very strange choice. One that fits exactly into aforementioned 'users are leeches' rhetoric. If you don't want to fix issues in a project, fine, just put that in your docs, I have sometimes done so too. If someone demands unwarranted special treatment, sure, they're an asshole, by all means call them out and/or throw them out. But talking like this about "users" as if they are a monolithic group of exclusively ill-intentioned people and not an integral part of the project is... well, I'd say it should probably prompt some introspection on your reasons for participation in the project and how you treat those in community with you, because that is not healthy. Like, I want to be really clear about this: fuck entitled users, and no maintainer has an obligation to fix an issue (some very specific edgecases excluded, that have nothing to do with FOSS specifically). But ultimately it's on you as the maintainer to indicate your boundaries, to make that choice of whether you're going to spend an afternoon working on your project, or whether you'll spend it taking a walk with your kids. Nobody else is responsible for that choice but you.
