There seem to be a bunch of toxic people on the bash mailing list, and I think many or all of them don't even contribute code

The person who responded dismissively later says "I'm just another user."

Every commit since they started using git in 2009 is attributed to one person:

https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/log/

I think occasionally contributed patches are applied, but this is not apparent in source control.

I was attacked on the bash mailing list a several years ago, so I don't go there anymore :-)
