Question: is it really that bad? Sadly, I didn't have the opportunity to maintain a relevant enough repo. But, why not just develop at your own pace and simply not give a damn about complaints? Maybe a README to clarify the situation, specifying that it's your project, you are doing it at your leisure, and that's all.

True. But I’ve concluded it’s disingenuous to post on a place labeled “social coding” and then say: leave me alone. It would be like posting on HN and saying “do not respond to my comment.” I think those who post PRs and messages on GitHub are not entitled to any response. But I can understand those who think it’s rude not to reply. I would rather not reply. So there’s no reason to post in the first place.

  HN is like you go to ces or any other trade fair. GitHub is more like a city there are different places, open stores, private building, parks. Everyone can go into stores. Repo that is promoting themself on GitHub or other websites. No one will go into your private house that you don't want into it. Private repo or repo with no readme , description or topics. If you have a park with trees that look nice, maybe some people like it too and wann chill on it, if you don't want people on it write a shield private or do not step on the grass. Repo that is willing to be used by third parties, as other are interested into it as they see it. You don't want something write a rule into readme.
