alt Hacker NewsYou should probably have read the comment that person was responding to, because you seem to have taken the response out of context. OP did file an issue over a year ago, and didn't submit a patch, so they did indeed "just" file an issue. Then they proceeded to whine about no one working on their issue for free.
Didn't read as whining to me, just accurately describing a bug with an anecdote about how it negatively affected them. Then a developer turned up as if hurled from the sky and fixed it! The system works!
