All about this but when I see 2 year old issues on a repo with code attached that have not been answered, I generally don't hold out high enough hopes of getting a response to justify forking cloning editing pushing and opening a pull request. At least with the blog post I had a chance to rally enough attention to make it the maintainers best interest to fix.

Good point regarding the chance to rally attention, but it would have been awesome to do both. It's probably 5-10 minutes of work to do the pull request!

I can't disagree with you there - while I did spend some time in the Chrome debugger to see if I could find some clues, at the end of the day I'm stingy with my time when it comes to pull requests, largely based on the # of open issues on the repo. Maybe I'm jaded but after losing a few hours to pull requests that never went answered and reading multiple different takes on github etiquette, I tend to play that safely.
