The problem is that this guy is treating open source as if it was a company where you need to direct a project to completion. Nobody in open source wants to be told what to do. Just release your work, if it is useful, the community will pick it up and everybody will benefit. You cannot force your improvement into the whole group, even if it is beneficial in your opinion.

Is this a project working with the community or not? > Just release your work What motivation exists to optimize package formats if nobody uses that package format? There are no benefits unless it’s in mainline. > Nobody in open source wants to be told what to do He’s not telling anybody to do work. He is sharing an optimization with clear tradeoffs - not a new architecture. > You cannot force your improvement into the whole group Nope, but communication is key. “put up a PR and we will let you know whether it’s something we want to pursue”. Instead they put him through several levels of gatekeepers where each one gave him incorrect feedback. “Why do we want to optimize bandwidth” is a question they should have the answer to. If this PR showed up on my project I would say “I’m worried about X,Y,Z” we will set up a test for X and Y and get back to you. Could you look into Z?
