Fair enough, but as someone who has worked closely with the Decky Loader maintainers and contributed my own stand alone plugin I get it. We basically all have day jobs as devs and it can be mentally taxing to do more PRs at home. Not to mention sometimes there's just not enough time in the day, and I don't even have kids.

Maintainers are ultimately volunteers doing work with hundreds of dollars an hour for free. I've had some PRs take 20+ days to be looked at, it's just how it goes.
