What is "a timely manner"? When I signed up for a GitHub account, I don't recall anything about having to agree to an SLA. I've seen many small projects that I use or monitor where someone will raise an issue or make a PR, and the owner will respond along the lines of "Great, looking into it, but I'm kind of busy right now, will get to it when I have time," and then people going off on them if "when I have time" isn't right now. Usually this is followed by an offer from the owner to give the reporter access or pass the ownership to them, which is invariably followed by crickets. There has been a lot of talk in this thread about the obligations of project owners. This seems to boil down to fundamental philosophical differences. My view is that if you want people to do shit work and jump when you say frog, you have to pay them for it, rather than bully them.
