What I read sounds like the project owner can clearly articulate the projects purpose (a point about free speech and big tech v lightness and about enabling). And the proposed contributions are reasonably contrary to them as he sees it. Experience, time... I think the response in this case was perfectly reasonable so I don't know how to remark on this. Hosting the code (someplace) and discussing issues may be separate good suggestions, all in the context of the projects purpose.
