Its a common problem. I often go through a bunch of bug reports and merge requests to ascertain how a patch will likely be treated. I have walked away from fixing quite a lot of bugs in projects as they didn't appear to be very good to contribute to, the Linux kernel being one such example back in 2003. Some projects are just like that and you are best not engaging with them as its likely going to be a waste of time.

Not that it matters now, since the AI revolution the open source licenses are widely breached and I haven't submitted any open source code since and wont do so again.
