The user who bumped it just created their GitHub account a couple hours ago, that person wasn't even involved in the original request.

I don't understand why that matters at all.

  They only created the account to bump a request they had no involvement in. I could understand the original requestor asking for an update, but this is just some rando with no contributions to any project at all.

    Just because they didn't bring up the original request doesn't mean they aren't interested in it having a solution.

    How do you know they weren't keeping an eye on the issue before creating an account? Or maybe they just ran into a case where they need the issue resolved, but aren't sure if they should wait or if it's likely to take long enough that they should find an alternative or a workaround.

    Again - who cares? If they went to the trouble of creating an account just to bump this issue... they probably care about it. Asking for update is just as often a way to subtly say "Can I pick this up?" or "Is there a way I can help move this ticket?" or "There was a pr, is this not getting merged because you won't accept this changeset?" You seem to be making a value judgement I just don't get - who fucking cares if it's just some rando - they were all random people when they started the thread...

      Lazy people who just want stuff done for free, now.

        And yet... that question got an appropriate and helpful response: This is blocked because the primary author is not available to help due to geopolitical issues. Even if it is just some lazy person who wants stuff done (and frankly - I think that attitude is fairly defeatist - you have no idea who that person is) why are you letting them occupy your headspace if that's what you think? Basically - even if they are lazy, you making the assumption makes you an asshole. Worse - it makes you less effective, because you take a possible volunteer and snub them immediately. Between the two - I'm much more annoyed by your behavior than theirs.

        That's why I created this account to NOT contribute, just like this guy.

That doesn't make the issue any less legitimate. If someone pings me for problem X and I don't solve their issue, if someone finds the thread on Google and bumps it that's still one of my users having an issue. Above all, I much prefer this to people that find my email/LinkedIn and pings me there. That's where I draw the line.
