Note this comment:

  thank you for this.  sorry about my impatience earlier.

  i would like to contribute a library.  but i don't have an idea at the moment. i would have to give away my real name.  which is dangerous for me.  because i don't use a vpn or any other internet security scheme.  to defend my privacy.  but this is just my mind.  merry xmas, happy hollidays and better season's experiences next year.

... The stuff open source maintainers have to deal with.


Open source maintainers just ignore this kind of stuff until they actually have something to contribute.

The biggest issue are AI generated PR slop that takes time to process. Not this kind of "I'd like to make a PR in the future" kind of thing.
