This is a new one for me. I found an open source project with ~40k stars that I wanted to contribute to. I thought, there are almost no tests here, so I wrote up some tests and hooked it up to GitHub actions to run on PR submission. The maintainer of the project told me no thanks. It really surprised me! I thought everyone would be grateful to have more testing, but that apparently isn’t the case.
