Open source frees us from the tyranny of the maintainer, but only if people stop raging at maintainers and start forking shit, and other people stop raging at maintainers and start voting with their feet to other forks. Who the fuck cares if the package maintainer does or doesn't do x,y, or z. Either make the patch, submit it, and launch your fork when it gets rejected, or look for such forks. Anything else is just masterbation. On another note: it seems like this entire mess was based around a bunch of peoples inability to see that "can" != "does". The fact that it can be vulnerable because it doesn't do something that makes being vulnerable impossible does not in any way mean that it is in fact vulnerable. This is like the time somebody came to our repo with a bunch of pep8 linter warnings and treated them like high severity issues. "good practice" != "must do".
