Afaik the director has been a dbag with his projects re contributors. Calibre and kitty.
It is his project and he doesnt owe any one anything, bit i would take my Limited OSS Aattention elsewhere.

In my opinion he's one of the most expedient OSS maintainers I've seen, and has a great deal of patience with entitled users who expect him to basically do free work for them.
Please don't listen to this comment and do consider contributing.
How so?
You'd rather he catered to every feature request?
Thid is blatantly rude and dismissive.
I think people would rather he was polite. As much as I respect Mr.Goyal for his work, he does not have the right to talk down to other people because he maintains something.
Please don't make excuses for someone being rude because they're a FOSS developer. I've seen it so many times on here now.
Perhaps you would have phrased it differently. But I don't buy the idea that every interaction should be sugar coated.
Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi.

Me neither, Kovid has every right to communicate whatever way he wants to, and nobody can take that right away from him.
Just as I have the right to consider him a rude [insert generic insult].
I don't have the time, energy, desire, nor language knowledge to implement this feature.
There are a lot of references to Kovid's aggressive manner of communication here.
