I really didn't like the unwelcoming label of "stupidity" You wonder why tech work gets the reputation of being unwelcoming to women? It's because of posts like this... Truth is, it is often wildly unwelcoming to everyone. I've forked plenty of repos without starring them or getting listed as an actual contributor. I forked entityframework (core) last night for example. I'm playing with the idea of writing a MySQL provider. Will it ever get pushed or rolled back in? Unlikely. I'll never be listed as a contributor. But is that stupid? Forking was what I wanted to do in this case. I can push into MY EF repo without issuing PRs. It's really low cost too (in all of time, effort, money virtually nil) "stupid" isn't just the wrong word, it's a "jerk" word to use.
