Well, to start, have you tried to send information in their issue tracker?

Maybe my answer sounded more harsh in tone than what I meant, sorry for that.

I red the message as "Hey they didn’t cover my specific case!", and I felt like this was unfair to ask an opensource project to cover each corner case upfront and not even consider a lacking feature as something that can be reported or maybe even contributed back.

Nope, I wasn't the top level comment.

Yes, it came off sharp, it would have discouraged me from contributing. Sometimes people don't really get that the process is open to all and need to be invited, I think it can be good to try and see stuff like this as an opportunity to extend that invitation.

I think you misread this one because it is basically "excitement about new thing -> implied disappointment at not getting to use new thing", and I can't find an ask in that.
