I have actually opened a pull requests [1] on the Hugo docs, adding one small sentence to clarify something that I was stuck on for several hours.

It was ignored for over a year, with the only comment being from me, then automatically marked stale and closed.

Needless to say I didn't open any additional PRs.

Also, this reflects my impression of the Hugo community in general - their discourse forum is pretty dismissive to questions (lots of "have you read the docs?" type responses when yes, I did read the damn docs, found them utterly confusing and that's why I spent 20 minutes writing up a detailed forum post to ask for advice).

Huh, yeah that is disappointing.

I think the stale bot in Hugo repo is overly aggressive. I have had to "fight" the stalebot in the past by posting update messages.
