Interesting. I like the idea of encouraging people to try creating a test or even a whole fix, but saying that’s all you will accept is a bit much. On the other hand, I’m not doing the work to maintain you-get. I don’t know what they deal with. This may be an effective way to filter a flood of repetitive issues from people who don’t know how to run a command line program.
I believe there are two extremes. On one end you get a bunch of repetitive non-issues, while on the other end you only get issues about (say) bugs in FreeBSD 13.3 because only hard-core users have the skills and patience to follow THE PROCESS.
I know how to make an isolated virtual environment, install the package, make a fork, create a test and make a PR. But I don't know whether I care enough about a random project to actually do it.
