That doesn't matter to an open source project without any revenue stream and no budget for a help desk.
And it sounds like you're doing something niche that shouldn't be prioritized, and eliminating abusive scrapers is probably worth it to them even if it means that they're losing your business. If they're not fixing it, that is a message to you that your use case doesn't matter to their business model. What you want is a way to demand you get attention. You are precisely the kind of squeeky wheel that wastes everyone's time.

Please take your public guess driven judgements somewhere else, thanks. I just received a thankful email from their engineering department as a result of the HN comment making one of their engineers aware.

Have a good day.
