    Interesting read about the Development Bystander Problem. I was indeed part of it. Maybe it is time to start contributing :)

    I submitted a pull request that was shut down and the only feedback was “I don’t think this is the way we’d do it.”

    I know managing community contributions is a big task but if you want people to volunteer, a baseline amount of effort should be made to enable it.

    It’s also helpful to have automated tests to increase confidence that a change won’t break existing features.
