Krick you are being needlessly combative. Some maintainers have abandoned projects and aren't going to merge a single character typo-fix. Why? Because of whatever reason they want. I never said that they have to accept it. I never said I was "demanding" shit from them. Furthermore if an author is actively maintaining it, then they should respond in a civil way to every pull request, even if it is a "decline to merge" response. Again, what I said wasn't that I shouldn't waste my time putting together a pull request if it isn't going to be accepted. Just that I shouldn't waste my time making a pull request if it is going to be ignored. It isn't too much to expect someone to at least say "Hey, sorry I'm not writing PHP anymore so I can't really look over you PR. If someone is will to take over the project I'd be more than willing to transfer it to them." I'm not talking about rights, I'm talking about what a level of decency I expect from someone I'd accidentally bump into on the street car, and you're basically countering with: "But he has a right to be an asshole!" I'm talking about Github and it's broken user interface. It is the main place for open source code repositories and the model is broken. Many people complain about abandoned projects, or about struggling to maintain a library they no longer use. Github should make it easier to collaborate socially around code, and one of the ways they should do this is by stopping wasted effort in pull requests.
