Stop right there. It's an open source project. You owe the users absolutely nothing.

If you perform marketing and/or evangelism for your project, it's not at all obvious that you owe your users nothing.

The act of marketing software doesn't invalidate the license, which often explicitly states that the software comes as-is and free from warranty / support.

Offering an as-is disclaimer doesn't rid someone of all social, moral, or legal responsibility.

Saying things that conflict with that disclaimer does indeed chip away at the effect the disclaimer has on your responsibility.

Stop right there. When you ask people for feedback, be it 1-on-1s or bug reports, ignoring the feedback is ruder than never having asked in the first place.

So yes, if you decided to ask for feedback, and they're kind enough to take time out of their day and spend their efforts to help you out in the way you asked them to help you out, you owe it to the provider to not then tell them to bugger off with said feedback.

If you were going to do that, you should have disabled bug reports from users instead. Here is a helpful tutorial on doing that on GitHub: [0]

Sure you do. Anyone asking for feedback owe to respond on said feedback.

opening your feedback system to users == asking users for feedback
