Documentation gives at least the functional, if not detailed, requirements for what the code is supposed to do (as well as not do). "Submit a pull request for documentation" is basically "please write down the set of requirements for what you think I might have coded up here and send them to me" which is an absurd way to do engineering, regardless of considerations of licensing and compensation structure.

It's okay to have that attitude about tutorials, and guides to internals, and other satellite docs, but not core documentation (reference manual or spec).

Yup, here is a good example of that in the wild: https://github.com/mholt/PapaParse/issues/495

The README says right there that they haven't found a good autodoc tool for C and that their API instability makes it burdensome to maintain documentation right now; calling them bad engineers for that is a bit much. Their only "mistake" is being a project for which outside enthusiasm has far outpaced its progress.
