It's as if people have work to do and can only spend their paid time in OSS fixing problems blocking their work. Having done all the debugging work and figuring out a way to fix it, it's a bit nasty of the maintainer to make a "better version" of it and rudely tell them to be "more useful. Basically it's the same as accepting the contribution and refactoring it afterwards. If the author "only wanted Linux street creds", without the context of a problem, they could have searched for an easy issue to fix and contribute on that. No, wait, now you'd consider that an act of selfless OSS contribution, fixing random problems not related to you!
