The PR contributor was not paid either to investigate the bug, reproduce it, write a patch and test it.

However instead of raising a "don't work, please fix" bug s/he took the time to do all that.

Anyone that went to such length deserve basic courtesy, whether the code is accepted or refused.

Refusing a patch because it is "boring" is not respecting the time people dedicated to your project.

I would understand refusing because the patch makes an unwanted compromise on performance and the maintainer considers performance regressions as bug.

These are merely your expectations, and this will probably disappoint you in the future.

I have replied to logged issues with the question: "I don't work on this, unless you have set aside a budget that pays my hourly rate".
