It seems to me (from the article) that that user tried to contribute, but only in a way that was not up to the standards of the project. “in any way” seems too harsh.
Well, I guess in any way may be too harsh. I should have said perhaps in any meaningful way :P Complaining about how things are not being done properly (by people who are working for free) is hardly a worthy contribution.
I wasn’t thinking of the complaining as a contribution. (I suppose it could be seen as a negative contribution, an anti-contribution.) The inadequate contribution I meant was
Žilka … had attached an ebuild for a newer version of Chromium
James … said … it’s more likely to be last-rited if nobody is interested in handling it in the way these things have to be done (which goes beyond just attaching ebuilds).
Agreed, that kind of language is unacceptable when one is talking to a volunteer and additionally one is not willing to contribute in any way.
