Hi, sorry but this is simply not something I'm interested in implementing. Further, please remember that GitHub maintainers do this for free, on their own time. Thanks! --- Anything more than that, block and move on. I've been on GH for 10 years or so and it's gotten really bad in the last few regarding pushy dickheads like this. You owe nothing to them, and if they can't behave within the OSS ecosystem then they're going to get blocked. Plain and simple. In the past, I've simply responded to drive-by PRs with "No thank you :)" and closed them. Not common but sometimes people do stuff that makes no sense and you just can't really say anything other than that.

As someone who makes lots of merge requests, please don’t add the further statement. In my experience while it’s well intentioned, it (understandably) frustrates contributors because it’s making an assumption that they aren’t valuing your time, which you don’t know. Just my 2¢, at the end of the day do what feels best for you, but you may drive away some contributors.

  In OP's case, it sounds like the issue submitter is already being pushy and demanding.

    Exactly, that's what I meant. Of course don't just blindly say this to someone who hasn't been rude or pushy.

  I think that statement should only come after something that justifies it. The statement implies that the requester is acting in bad faith. If they are, fine, but if they aren't it's somewhat bad faith to treat them as if they are, and in my experience it can really change the tone of a community when all initial interactions start out assuming bad faith.

  As someone who has to deal with a lot of PRs, yes I'm going to tell you this if you're being pushy. Of course I won't say this if you're polite like most people are.
