> All I remember is that their were multiple times over the years when patches were sent and when changes were requested each time the submitter just vanished but I might be misremembering. The original bug report contained multiple comments pointing out that a file chooser is not a full blown file browser and that it either should not display or cause the creation of new thumbnails. > and when changes were requested each time the submitter just vanished but I might be misremembering.

I think you're misunderstanding those comments, the point is that an external service needs to generate the thumbnails. If the file chooser needs them it will have to call out to that external service. There isn't any desire to build all the complex system-specific behavior around thumbnail creation into GTK itself.

All open source maintainers I know are overworked. You shouldn't take it personally or make negative assumptions if someone doesn't get around to your pull request. This is especially true of large PRs that can be overwhelming to review.
