Unfortunately some people have no respect for open source maintainers time and do open issues with little to no context.
Take a look at the issues of any popular Github project to see this phenomenon exacerbated.
Coincidentally I stumbled upon an example today while randomly browsing Github projects. A project with 9k stars and someone opens an issue basically saying: "commands do not work":
https://github.com/walkor/Workerman/issues/611
I don't mean to do finger pointing at this person. It's a common behaviour.
For maintainers it's exhausting to pursue each and every issue, asking for context. And if you don't keep a tight leash on them or use a bot they just pile up to hundreds of issues.

Note that I am not saying anyone should maintain anything. Disable the issue tracker if you want. I don't demand that you respond to any communication about it or do anything further.
