I love this, and wish other projects would follow suit and not be afraid to say "no" to people asking for changes/fixes.

The obligations that the industry places on open source project maintained by unpaid volunteers are unfair and unrealistic.

If someone actually cares about specific changes/PRs they should fork the library and implement or apply those appropriate patches/changes

A "no" is IMO infinitely more useful than an indefinite "maybe" (what most projects do, because they are afraid to say no to anyone) when it comes to these things.
