To emphasize even more, you do not need to explain yourself at all, in any way. You may want provide your reasons / rationale, but you don't have to (see other comments stating that as well).
- serial_dev 4y agoAbsolutely. Another answer I don't recommend is "PR welcome". Accepting some random person's feature then getting it merged comes with lots of costs, from the one time cost of code reviews to the ongoing cost of maintaining the feature. Only say "PR welcome" if it is really welcome.
- II2II 4y ago> To emphasize even more, you do not need to explain yourself at all, in any way. I would suggest that you should not explain yourself in any way. Chances are they would just view that as an open door to argue their point and they will try to use your words against you. A polite no is still a no. Some people just need time to realize that.
