> Not saying that is necessarily bad but you are stupid if you think the answer to everything is "well did you write a patch?". I'm not sure why this tone is necessary. If someone just rants about a problem without even _trying_ to submit a bug report with a proposed patch that strikes me as laziness not foresight. As a maintainer myself, I am well aware that maintainers will reject code if it disagrees with our view of a project. But how on earth do you expect us to know there is a problem without reporting a bug (the only reason I asked whether the author wrote a patch is because they went through the trouble of debugging the problem so probably are in a good place to write a patch anyway)? And if you decide to write an angry and ranting blog post rather than interact with us, we aren't going to be very nice to you either.
