Fully agree.
From a technical perspective: Ignoring leaves the loop open. I don't know:
- if you ignore it on purpose
- or if you don't want to solve it or
- or if you don't have time or
- or if you just missed it

That's when I would re-send the message or do something else. A Win-Win would be sending a small "won't-fix" or whatever.
- TillE 6y ago> Ignoring leaves the loop open Often that's what you want! Maybe I don't want to reject your bug report outright, maybe I'll get around to it in a few weeks or months or years. Or not, I dunno. I've had my own issues and bugfix PRs on small projects ignored, that's fine. Nobody should ever have the expectation of a response on that kind of project.
- miku86 6y agoThe parents are talking about ignoring as a method to (implicitily) say no. Ignoring: for the maintainer: open loop or maybe hidden closed loop (e.g. afraid of confrontation); for the requester: open loop. The intention of saying no is a closed loop. > Nobody should ever have the expectation... Yes, but that's not a pragmatic solution. People sometimes DO have the expectation.
