For what it's worth I also feel that's the case. 95% of my suggestions for improvement were completely ignored, and it's only when the maintainer threatened to merge my competing series, that I started receiving responses. I don't believe critical feedback has been welcomed, I don't believe my time as a reviewer was respected, and mostly it felt like talking to a wall. I find it ironic that a patch series that boasts of promoting inclusion and diversity completely ignores the most important diversity the project should care about: Diversity of thought. While claiming to be trying to avoid hypothetical people from feeling excluded, it actively excluded the opinions of actual people. -- Felipe Contreras
