The bot-account's (apparently human-written) reply of "you're very welcome" to the complaint in the third issue is downright dismissive of the problem and kinda passive aggressive. While it seems that the bot did good work overall, the human(s) handling edge cases need work.

We've blocked the bot after their script malfunctioned and they opened a second issue with exactly the same text (https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/issues/5286).
klyrs was right about the reply from me (a dev behdind Code Review Doctor) being dismissive in the issue. I apologise for that.

FWIW my reaction was classic "expectations not meeting reality": weeks of work to do (what I thought) was a mutually beneficial helpful thing. I was naively not expecting non-positive responses and was ill prepared when you raised valid concerns I had not considered.

Again, I am working on that and sorry I was passive aggressive to you.

Thank you - that explanation makes sense, apology accepted. :)
No good deed goes unpunished.
Nice response, thanks.
