Sorry to hear that. For what itβs worth: I once submitted a tiny pull request for Bazel (IIRC allowing insecure connections to localhost for docker repositories) and it was accepted and merged within a few days. Positive experience overall.

Did this all play out in a publicly available issue or a PR?
The Dart standard library didn't implement an RFC correctly, so I submitted a fix with a PR and was given the run around about how nothing was actually wrong, despite citing the RFC and giving test cases to reproduce errors. It wasn't until another Google employee showed up much later and echoed that there was a problem with Dart's implementation that the maintainers would acknowledge the problem even existed.
The kicker is that the maintainers at Google then followed up with wanting me to submit another PR with additional changes that they wanted to see instead either merging the fix or adding the additional changes themselves.
Now my attitude towards Google's open source projects is if they want contributions, they can pay me. I'm not wasting my time for free again for them.
