The other issues I pointed out are blocked on that one, because until that is addressed, there's no point in sending PRs. My free time is both limited and precious to me and I'm sure the free time of others is precious to them as well. As an outside contributor, if I see that contributions are not valued highly (as evidenced by the response time; I'm sorry but that's just the way it works) I don't feel motivated to contribute. I give freely of my own time, make changes, send a pull request and then wait months for a maintainer to so much as glance in its direction. You can see the problem here. As a project maintainer, if you want others to contribute to your project you need to make contributing utterly frictionless.
