As in, fixing one character typos?
If he didn't really want to follow the process to contribute, a bug report would have been fine (which is what finally happened, reading the PR).
He ended the PR with "I unfortunately feel that I've already exhausted the amount of energy I can dedicate to this", but he had some energy left to write that twitter thread.
- ghayes 5y agoFWIW, I had something similar happen when I contributed to React. A long CLA, a three-line PR (that was marked as a `easy first issue`), and eventually, after month and dozens of comments, a rebased PR that subsumed the issue. There's nothing inherently wrong with this, but it can turn off getting new contributors to your project who may, one day, become your core maintainers.
