Now, as your statement makes clear, working code is an irrelevant criteria. No, working code is only part of the equation. If you're a total and complete asshole, your work is likely to get lost to the sands of time. In such a case nobody wants to deal with you. Welcome to the real world where you have to interact with other human beings (not just be technically capable) in order to accomplish things. It's always been like this Donald. If you piss off, or are a jerk to, the primary maintainers you're going to get the short end of the stick.
