As an OSS author, unless I ask for that feedback, “me too” comments both add noise to my inbox and come off as entitled. It feels like the author of the comment expects me to implement a feature for them because they want it. I don’t maintain OSS as a product, I maintain it because it is code that I need for my personal use cases and I benefit by having others participate in QA and feature dev.
This probably does not apply to OSS projects that are products built by companies.
