Your spare time seems much more valued more than mine. If I'd submitted identical work it may have been delayed indefinitely. There's an uneven burden of trust and proof that discourages contributors from wasting more of their time when not even their most trivial harmless patches are merged.
Projects involved years of R&D for mission critical highly available GPGPU accelerated algorithmic solutions for machine vision industrial robotic guidance where moments of downtime accumulate to hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars lost over minutes.
Level of trust to lead R&D projects vs adding simple optional flag to fix video bugs to promotes user freedom is so drastically different that it begins to approach absurd. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/11612#note_149440
