you can find people that expect certain amount of experience with a particular language
what then should they be doing different? to contribute code to a software project you need to know or learn the language the project is written in. there is no way around that.
does it bother you that they don't want patches created with chatGPT? did you miss the controversy around that? can you assert that the code you submit is really free of copyright claims?
They can do all of that, of course. My point is that their condescending attitude is going to lose potential contributors like me, when most open source projects embrace a much more welcoming environment. Maybe they are doing fine, I don't know. But I have worked on enough open source projects to know that it is not the best position they can be in.
