I've seen this a couple of times but not after pull requests, but simple (verified even) bug reports or feature requests. Let me quote a recent example from IRC: > XXXXX interesting how the number of new github issues went down since i started ignoring them :) > XXXXX could be coincidence, but i suspect having a few open tickets discourages the more frivolous requests we usually got there" Nice attitude there! After reading several such comments and some diatribe on github (following a bug report), I really had difficulties justifying the use of the software developed by this guy, especially after having been warned about this earlier by a co-worker ("the project is fine, XXXXX is the only problem with it") and not taking it seriously because I thought he was exaggerating (I'm not really into personality cult etc.).

If the project gets big enough you really need to have someone just dealing with the issues. It's super time consuming. I've gotten commit access and cred on several open source projects just by going through the issue log and triaging it. There's a great post I can't find on a good triage process for issues. OSS projects are much more likely to give you access to do tickets than to commit. And on github, you can tag issues to help the maintainers sort the issues.
