This is part of what i think is a problem with rust. Where all of these important features are left to volunteers in the community to come up with. A lot contributors seem to be unprofessional or hobbyist/amateurs. Like some of these issues in the pr really aren't "perfectionism". Then this guy trying to make projects look bad seems childish because he isn't that great at programming. Maintaining a open source project and being good at coding aren't really overlapping skills. Two years to merge something seems like a failure on both parts. The maintainers should have said something in the begging and set some expectations too.
- throwawayffffas 5y agoIt looks to me that the maintainers straight up don't think the feature is important. But the author seems to miss the fact that by making a PR he is actually creating a burden for the maintainers. They are not in anyway obliged to merge it or even look at it. If he actually cared and wanted to contribute he would look for bugs not for new features. The way I see it new feature development is a right to be earned in a codebase you can't show up and expect people to review the code and merge it because it would look great in your cv or because it takes care of that one use case you care about.
