Are you giving them money?

It seems to be a mostly volunteer driven project.

Proprietary SoC vendors use an fork of a very old version of the software so they're not invested.

Why not try engaging and see if you can help them automate advisories based on their issue tracker / got activity?

Because your attitude comes off as entitlement.

Your attitude comes off as dismissive and condescending while gaslighting a perfectly valid criticism. Why not recognize that the commentor is providing feedback, even if not directly, and is delivering it in a forum context which we (HN visitors) actually read? The notion that every bit of feedback like this shoud be replaced with a FOSS contribution is profoundly entitled on your part.

The feedback is asking for a free service to be provided to them.

This isn't a project with massive corporate funding.

If the project isn't updating this page but they're actively making patch releases, what's the benefit?

There's this attitude when it comes to FOSS software where free users seem more entitled than paying users.

Isn't it significantly more entitled to ask volunteers provide a service?
