I disagree.
Real story, I have a branch that's been open for four years at my company to add support for nested postgres transactions. It works flawlessly... but we, the senior devs, are uncertain if it's a power that would be used responsibly by the juniors. If I'm going to walk into the light, I'm going to make sure there's a badass explosion behind me.
I've got one for a vscode feature (middle mouse click for go-to definition) that I want but the maintainers don't think it would be used.
I'm in the niche of niches by using vsc with a vim plugin while being a dvorak user. I rely on vim's langmap feature to get anywhere, but people implementing vim emulators blissfully ignore accessibility like that. So I went and implemented langmap in vsc's vim plugin myself. It has minimal intervention into the existing codebase and a bunch of other people have been wishing for this for years. Yet, when it comes to merging... Silence.
Can't you just open source your fork? I mean yeah it does suck but still. I've been in the same place and it does suck when they won't take your PR.
