Firstly, I agree this is very shitty behaviour reminiscent of what a soon to be for profit company would do. See: Hashicorp Terraform.
But I've got to caution anyone against throwing in unsolicited pull requests. If the maintainers don't know about it they'll be upset. That being said the pull requests posted seem totally solicited and in fact led on by people before subsequently being torpedoed.
Lemmy people, this post literally showed up five times in a row on my feed across 5 different subs. How do I fix that?
