> Yet he is spending his time maintaining it, only to be attacked for his efforts.

Which, in general, is totally legit. Doing something voluntarily doesn't relieve you from criticism if what you are doing isn't good.

Agreed. Just like one doesn't owe the society their voluntary work, the society doesn't owe one protection from criticism.

You can criticize all you want, but he can also just stop maintaining it if he gets too annoyed by the criticism. Maybe that's a better outcome for you, idk.

Yes, I agree. Voluntarily forming a mob to flood issue trackers with garbage shouldn't relieve the mob members from receiving criticism.
