Yes, it's wrong to demand something for nothing: that's entitlement, not business (which involves some sort of equitable exchange of goods and/or services).
Better questions: How do I file a BUG report issue, create a feature ENHancement request issue, send a pull request with a typo fix, write DOCs and send a PR, write test cases for a bug report?
How can I sponsor development of a feature?
A project may define a `.github/FUNDING.yml`, which GitHub will display on the 'Sponsor' tab of the GitHub project. A project may also or instead include funding information in their /README.md.
How do I ask IRC or a mailing list or issues how much and how long it would cost to develop a feature, if somebody had some international stablecoin and a limited term agreement?
The answer may be something like, "thanks for the detailed use case or user story, that's on our roadmap, there are major issues blocking similar features and that's where the expense would be."
