It's also hard to stay cool and agree with the mob dogpiling you over (tbh) a triviality. Anyone who's had to have difficult conversations in the real world knows that. I'm not going to expect people to respond in the best way to such things (easy to project this expectation when you're an anonymous name in the crowd, though).
There wasn't dogpiling at first. The maintainer was the first person to reply to the initial issue report, and they were dismissive, defensive, and accused the person who opened the issue of bad faith.
All of that was uncalled-for and unnecessary, and then the dogpiling started.
