Sure, but that's why I mentioned politics -- the particulars matter and there is plenty of ground for reasonable people to disagree. Judgement goes both ways.

Judgement goes both ways. Maintainers are under no obligation to accept my code, but if enough maintainers stonewall enough of my code for reasons that I consider unreasonable enough then I'm under no obligation to write the code, either. That's where I've gotten to. It wasn't a short journey. Oh well.

If you add the missing feature to a fork, nothing stops you from making use of that code directly. You aren't dependent on the author merging things upstream. You never were.
