Isn't it better to treat people the same way as you want to be treated. If you take the time to write to a maintainer, I'm sure you would appreciate a reply. Why not just politely explain why you wont spend time on the issue, maybe using a standard answer?
- capableweb 6y agoIf someone takes the time to properly report a issue and follow up after I follow up, of course I take the time to try to help them, if I can. But that doesn't mean you have to respond. It is nice if you do, but we should not add the expectation that you'll get help from maintainers. I think all these conversations are about the expectation to get helped, not that it's nice if we do help.
