If ever I was considering contributing to a FOSS project, this comment and many others like it within this thread has firmly convinced me that it’s not worth the trouble.
- DeepSeaTortoise 3y agoThat's almost spot on. I've just barely arrived at the conclusion that I could make a change, offering minor suggestions and changes on projects I care about and then have the read someone degrading a contribution that is still "several levels above people that work their way into OSS projects in order to gain visibility by fixing a lot of trivial issues" And when you point this extreme ranking out as inappropriate, your comment gets vaporized. This REALLY bloody hurts
- throw16180339 3y agoYMMV, but here's what happened with my pull requests. 12 - accepted, sometimes additional changes were required 1 - ignored; this was a trivial change and I wouldn't have submitted it now. 1 - rejected; the maintainer didn't understand my proposed fix and closed the pull request. 1 - rejected; the maintainer disagreed with the proposed change.
