I think they expect people who want things to advocate harder than just mentioning it once. If no one brings it up again, then they assume that no one cares.
- harvey9 2y agothis seems very inefficient and the opposite of what I assumed. repeated requests take up time on both sides and are not a very good measure of how important something is.
- dncornholio 2y agoit's not perfect but it works.
- neoromantique 2y agowell, apparently it doesn't.
- naasking 2y agoWell, apparently nobody even noticed for 5 years, so that's 5 years that nobody had to even think about that code.
- nicce 2y agoThis is how the most of the open-source development works. There are many projects with thousands of issues and PRs. Those that will get most attention, typically gets prioritized.
- stusmall 2y agoThis is even how closed source development works. If you throw issues in a backlog and never follow up to advocate for it then it will never get done.
- mid-kid 2y agowhy bother infering such intent when the obvious answer - that they simply forgot about it with no ill intentions - is right there?
- naasking 2y agoRequiring people to advocate for their changes is not ill-intent. It handles all cases such as forgetting/missing a patch, and disagreement whether something is needed. The point is there's no system in place to track which patches "should ideally be included but weren't for some reason", it's up for the people who need them to push for them.
- adastra22 2y agoQuite the opposite. If you “pester” for something, they’ll explicitly reject it.
