Does this make sense? Are there other many people that use that project? Does your contribution to it signify an endorsement of its maintainer? Have you already written the code? Is it fair to the other users of this project that you're withholding a contribution because of an idiotic remark by its maintainer? Would it be preferable to fork the project so that the maintainer can be somebody else? What if you create your own fork with your contribution and publish it? What if the other person who made fun of OP then merges your changes back into the original codebase? I can't tell if this is an attempt at activism or an excuse to avoid doing something.
