Just my personal take, but be clear about what you don’t intend to “fix” or incorporate. Say it’s not aligned with the project goals and it’s not on the roadmap

Just my personal take, but be clear about what you don’t intend to “fix” or incorporate. Say it’s not aligned with the project goals and it’s not on the roadmap. This will help folks evaluating the project better assess how well it fits, and leaves behind a potential feature set for a new project (or fork). In the long run, not communicating might be worse than a disappointing but clear answer.
