I totally agree with this, I have also had a wide range of responses to Issues and PRs from different projects. I have seen everything from the good experiences with Node.js, to other projects where I get massive pushback on reasonable changes, to radio silence for years. A lot can depend on the project's governance style and how the maintainers see your specific issue.

You are correct that in larger projects it can be really tough to have your issue seen as important, especially if there is trouble reproducing it or a lack of community support behind it.

I appreciate this take on the Open Source world, thank you for adding your experiences.
