I’ve had PRs open since last March with them and have been somewhat disappointed at their response to adding features through OSS contributions. These aren’t minor contributions either.

For example, I want to add ltree support to Prisma (which could also extend to MSSQL’s Hierarchy). I’ve shepherded this whole thing through at least 4 repos, adding the necessary pieces in order to make it work.

Their communication and follow up has been generally poor. The engineers they have on staff are capable but they either don’t see the value in larger OSS contributions or don’t have the time to manage both the internal and external roadmapping?

Idk, I just want my PRs reviewed and merged lol

Luckily I've had enough skin in the game contributing that, seeing a few (non) responses in very useful community-opened issues and PRs, decided that it was likely not worth investing too many hours fixing the issue I linked by myself, since I suspected a possible PR might end up exactly in the situation you are at right now...
