I'm trying to come to terms with this issue in my own interactions with open source as well. Where I'm at currently: since code is cheap and analysis is expensive, it can be more beneficial to a project's maintainer to get a precise, well-researched report of the issue than a PR. This is an inversion of most of my open source life, where opening an issue was asking for free work while giving a PR implied more reciprocal effort was given. I'll typically just end with "PR available upon request", unless the project has a no-LLM policy.
