(no title)

Again: the maintainer does not say there is no bug. He says: please open a new issue, with a proper title and description for the actual underlying problem. Is that seriously too much to ask? Instead, the guy writes a whole blog post shitting on the project. Does anyone still wonder why people burn out on maintaining FOSS projects?

Open Source is not Free Support, the sooner this reality sets in (accelerated surely by AI spam) the sooner we get to the happy place.

Not great behavior I agree, but what else is there to say other than "it does not match the spec at point 1.2.3"?

Then opening the ticket should be easy enough?

I certainly understand the maintainer here, because that’s what I keep telling colleagues at work.

Tickets get really cumbersome if they are not clear and actionable.

Exactly, that's all his PR had to be. The history of finding the issue could be an interesting story (I bet it involves Elixir!), but in places it reads as almost malicious. If I received a PR anything like that on something I maintained, it would be received very poorly. The author comes off as overly aggressive toward the maintainers and far too sensitive to their response.
