I sometimes release software under an OSS license. I sometimes take patches from people. Other times I reject them because it's not the direction I want to take the project.

I sometimes use software under an OSS license. Sometimes I submit patches for fixes and they get accepted after appropriate amounts of reviews. Sometimes I maintain an internal fork for years before my fix lands. Sometimes I choose a different solution because my projects needs no longer align with the software's direction.

At no point do I ever think it's a great idea to bully an OSS maintainer into my way of thinking. I have all kinds of empathy for both groups but the rules of engagement here are very clear and anyone who thinks they should be different is just going to be hurt in the long run.
