On the other hand, it's also possible that, for similar reasons, they wouldn't have written the whole thing if commenting in Chinese wasn't possible. I suspect that not turning people away wasn't one of their primary goals when writing those comments.

I've poked at C++ with Japanese comments once; I ended up just ignoring those comments completely and reading the code to figure out what was going on. I don't think those authors should have written the comments in a language they didn't seem to be comfortable in either; they probably never thought about who would look at their code.

It's open source; they don't owe it to you to make it easy to work with for you, and you don't owe them to work on it even if you are uncomfortable with the comment style.
