But, isn't that a strange comment to make on a thread where there was an announcement "sorry, we don't have bandwidth to even look at any problems that aren't on some PM's roadmap"

To tug on that a little more, community PRs (and issues, but I'm focused on the folks who want something to work bad enough to actually contribute a fix) are far more likely to be some edge case that a real user has stepped on which the core project either didn't consider, didn't test, or thinks "who would use the spacebar to heat their computer?"

One can get passionate anti-users, too, if they have their PRs thrown in the trash
