I get that this is side project that you do in your free time, but expecting reviewers to "file a github issue for each" problem they find in vttest isn't the right answer.

For example, you should maybe open a discussion on what you're seeing in vttest and compare that with OP's comment. If you don't see any problems in vttest, then say so and proceed from there.

So like... open a discussion where they can discuss specific issues? Do you realise how entitled you sound right now?
Maybe I am entitled. But if I posted a comment like OP and got the same response he did, I wouldn't be bothered to file those issues. wezfurlong's response (imo) came across as defensive and dismissive, while also redirecting any potential discussion.

As someone who maintains packages, I'd be willing to hear feedback from any source because being aware of them is better than not at all. I can't speak for how wezfurlong ranks these set of potential issues-- if they're worth even investigating for example-- but from the perspective of a person giving feedback, I would find his response as unmotivating.
