From the title I was expecting something different. I'm also an open source maintainer and I find his attitude ridiculous. He is a Diva. The user contribute their tiny way by taking the effort to contribute a bug report instead of just ignoring what they could have found. And this guy ask them money just to fill a bug... If he was asking money for investigating or fixing a specific bug I can understand, but here he just don't even want to see it! Seriously, for his little size project, what is the cost of just having a few seconds look at incoming bugs even if not replying to it's author? He is probably missing some important info. Maybe someone was reporting that his crappy software was doing a 'rm rf' in some cases... From my point of view, I'm very grateful for the bug reports I receive. Sure a lot of them are not really bug or already fixed. But very often I got very valuable feedback about bugs, incomprehension of the projects, or things that could be improved for that. So on one side you can also consider that you have users ready to do free QA for you! That is invaluable! In the case of this guy, I think that he is not really an OSS maintainer in the 'free software' movement but just the author of an abandonware with shared sources.
