I agree. I gave a talk once on a piece of code I wrote and mentioned that an OSS library my project depended on lacked a feature. I wasn't so much complaining as just stating the fact that it didn't do X and it would be really awesome if it did X. Afterwards one of the maintainers came up and asked me to make a bug report on Github. So I did. I lack the expertise or time to implement this feature and the feature is still not implemented. But it's useful to have the feature request on Github because other people find and there are a few comments on it now. Documenting stuff like this is important for maintainers. It's when the documentation turns into a form of harassment that people need to fuck off.
