They owe people who write PR basic courtesy, not refusing patches on ground that it is "boring".

"Basic courtesy" is one thing. Accepting patches because they don't find them interesting is another thing, is different, and not required.

Giving someone the mere ability to make a PR is already a gift far beyond what the original author owes.

I'm not advocating for or against accepting the patch. I'm saying that the tone of the refusal is inappropriate.
