Couple ways to read this:
1. repo owner is justified. Understandable from the lens of living under an oppressive regime that could use anything to justify your imprisonment or whatnot... Even if he has good intentions, fear of disproportionate response keeps him from collaboration
2. repo owner is just not being friendly. The risk is so minuscule here that any intelligent person would just merge a PR. After all, theyre having a discussion in a public forum... so they've already past the point of "no contact"...
3. repo owner has government ties.
- chadash 6y agoI can't say for certain, but the tone of his response leads me to think that #2 is not the case. The risk might be minuscule, but the repo owner worried about it anyway, which is natural and doesn't mean they are being unfriendly.
- dudul 6y ago> The risk is so minuscule here that any intelligent person would just merge a PR. Out of curiosity, have you ever lived under a repressive regime? Because I have, and even when "the risk is minuscule", when you know what could happen you tend to think twice.
