This seems common with a lot of open source. I wonder if some of this could be solved with a fee to communicate. You want to send a message or question or PR? It costs $5 but the maintainer has the option to refund it. It also puts some skin in the game from the community people who want it for free but changed to match their exact use case. A lot of people just need to vent to someone in that moment and any obstacle would make them give up. Or maybe this is a horrible idea...
