>I frequently perceive a sense of entitlement from drive by PR contributors, as if they are giving a gift to the maintainer, when in reality, it often takes more time for the maintainer to test, review, and give feedback on contributions than if they’d done it themselves.

If that's what you think then why accept pull requests at all on your project?

Well for one, last time I checked GH doesn’t allow this in their UI.

And on balance, I love open source!

It’s just one of those unfortunate things where it’s hard and slow to be considerate while being easy and cheap to be inconsiderate.
