Let us keep this in perspective: those developers are fixing bugs in
"their" package all of the time and doing their users a greater favor
continually than a one-time effort of somebody else will do to them.
I find the _demands_ people tend to place on volunteers in the free
software world surprising at times. This holds for demands towards
Emacs developers as well, so I don't think we are sitting in a
different boat here.
The problem has been solved in the mean time. I am grateful that
stuff like this can, in the end, be worked out and addressed properly.
