I've had good and bad experiences trying to get code merged and in the end all I really care about is that people get to benefit from the labor of love of teaching myself to code. Had people merge significant chunks of code without even a pat on the head but also had my name in the credits of one of the Blender Institute movies so in the end it probably all cosmically balances out. I don't ascribe malicious intent to the bad experiences (nor really consider them "bad" but (mostly) just people being annoying for whatever reason) so don't take offence, just realize people have different priorities than me. Though in one case I did actively avoid working on a part of the code base that one particular dev was in charge of due to multiple "bad" experiences, I have better things to do than beg for code reviews and feel "lucky" when I get them -- actually...the best thing with working with software geared towards artists is you can outsource the begging to the people who directly benefit from the feature since they need it yesterday to finish their project. --edit-- Bloody hell, replied to a flagged subthread...
