The README says [1]: > If your pull request follows all of the advice above but still has not been merged, this usually means that the developers haven't had time to review it yet. We understand that this might feel frustrating, and we apologize. The Signal team is still small, but we are hiring. Again, this is how open source works. If you need the README to tell you "btw, we don't owe you anything, it is all best effort, and it may be that we don't have time to address your PR", then you haven't (yet) understood open source. Don't take it personally, a ton of people complain like you do. Which is why I don't open source my code anymore. Then people can't benefit from it, but at least they won't feel like they can put pressure on me to work for them for free. Because that's exactly what you are doing: even if you did put efforts into your PR, you are asking them to work for you for free right now. And you don't only put pressure by complaining on their GitHub issues: you go one step further by trying to get the HN community to help you put pressure on them. I have had a lot of people telling me "be careful: if you don't work in your free time to implement that feature for me, I won't use your project for free". And many people say that in a much less polite way.
