I agree with you, but this is one of those things where if you haven't had the experience of being part of a popular open source project, you don't realize how bad the scaling effects are.
Let's say courtesy only requires five minutes of my time. There are millions of users of the programming language I work on. Let's say only 0.1% of them desire my courtesy. Even at that small fraction, I'm going to spend 83 hours out of every 24 hour day (including weekends and holidays) giving each of them that cheap courtesy.
Yes and if you have o(1000) prs or issues in a single day, I guess you have a different scale of problem and will need to automate triage and management, probably through an ai-powered tool.
Even if it is 0.01% per day it’s still a very high volume. At that point it’s not a hobby. Millions of users maybe would point toward a more formal management and governance approach.
See Gemini-cli for example. Or a bunch of Microsoft projects. They use ai to triage and respond to tickets. (And they pocket veto many of them)
