They are running a large project and are likely getting notifications from Github all day every day. Rather than having purposely ignored it, someone may have looked at it and thought “hmm we’ll have to discuss this” but since people are busy it never got prioritized because it wasn’t urgent. There may be a queue of 25 other prs/issues/discussions that also need a response. Sure it’s better from a community and support perspective to respond quickly and be transparent, but I wouldn’t necessarily assume there is some ulterior motive to their lack of response.

> There may be a queue of 25 other prs/issues/discussions that also need a response. There are 30 open PRs. No other open PR has more than 2 thumbs ups/hearts. This one was open for months. There's zero chance they were unaware of it. They may have thought "ugh that's awkward; let's not think about it", but that falls firmly into "hoping that nothing happens".

  Thumbs up and hearts produce no notifications afaik so they could easily be unaware if they weren’t specifically following and checking up on the thread. And a PR being open for a long time could be an indication that it has been forgotten about rather than being purposefully ignored. You could definitely be right but you are also making some big assumptions imo that may not be true.

    It has quite a few comments too. You get notifications for those. I'm sorry but there's no chance they didn't notice this. And they didn't even try and use that excuse!

      Notifications which are often ignored. In a large project, emails from Github frequently aren’t even going to be opened by anyone. In fact, you have no idea and are confidently speculating about something which you have no way of knowing. But don’t let that stop you I guess.
