If it was my project I wouldn’t have offered a support contract because the labor law and tax law situation is too complex for me.

It’s actually very kind of you to offer such a contract.

FrugalGuy could have gotten the response “please submit a PR”. Not sure if that would have made them happy.

The code they're looking for is already in the repo (just a version bump on some dependencies), so the response would actually have been "instructions for building from source can be found here [0]".

As a user I have two options:

- follow the official installation instructions;

- build from source.

The documentation(https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/overview-installation/) says among the rest:

> The recommended way to install mitmproxy on Linux is to download the standalone binaries on mitmproxy.org.

> Dependencies in the binary packages are frozen on release, and can’t be updated in situ. This means that we necessarily capture any bugs or security issues that may be present. We don’t generally release new binary packages simply to update dependencies (though we may do so if we become aware of a really serious issue).
