Oh no. Just because they donate their time and effort the community can't criticise them; even if how they work and interact with the community hurts and embarrasses the community... it was all free after all and the community added nothing to it! /s
That's really not how it works when you work with others and use other's resources and time. Nobody's entitled to their effort, but they're also not immune to criticism from others for that effort if they hold that effort out for others - if they expect immunity because it's 'free' they're just wasting people's time and preventing the development of a solution which doesn't.
