Yup. I recognized your username and note that our interaction happened over a year after the original pull request discussion with no response from the repo owner.
> In my experience, at least 80% of the time I end up spending more time and effort on accepting someone's change than I would have writing it myself
Sure but the general culture and expectation in open source is when people find bugs or create features, as good citizens they share the changes upstream. If what you want to do is "throw the code over" or you've lost interest in developing further, all you need to do is to say that as common courtesy to your fellow open source developer especially if like in this case a lot of people use it. Lots of repos do this and clearly stated deprecation.
