Once again I wish github would allow the ability to limit who could open issues and PRs in order to do development in the open with a trusted/vetted set of collaborators without being subject to every zero-effort bug report from users.

Bots that close or even delete issues where the issue template hasn't been filled in help a lot.

Is this person OK? Doesn't seem it. I use single-spa. I'm now worrying about it's future with the sentiments and apparent dislike of users expressed here.

I don’t see a dislike of users, just a dislike of the stress that being an open source maintainer tends to place on people.

I only have one rule: I only contact an open source developer if I believe resolving the problem would make the product better unless I am willing to offer them reasonable money to do it.

Doesn't (almost) every bug report/feature request meet this criterion?
