It seems ludicrous to have to star a project for lacking a feature you need. What's next, starring projects for having glaring security problems?

- chupapimunyenyo 3y agoThe person that asked for the feature clearly uses the project and this is usually the case. USERS of a project ask for features
- moron4hire 3y agoThe person in the linked GitHub repo is not asking the maintainers to develop the feature. They are asking if the maintainers would like the issue author to develop the feature. That's what is particularly disgusting to me about this star-begging-bot.
- actionfromafar 3y agoThey are asking the maintainers to take the time to evaluate and possibly shepherd a patch into the mainline. It may or may not work out in the end. Everything has a cost, not the least, opportunity cost. “Libre” is not “gratis” and all that.
- MrDresden 3y agoI have starred plenty of projects that lack features that I would have liked or needed them to have. They were still of use to me, and in cases did implement those features later on.
