There is a difference between agreeing it might be unnecessary, and you telling someone who contributes to your open-source project for rude for such a banal little thing of tagging the maintainers.
...
I take your point and don't necessarily disagree with any of it (yes, even "pedantic"; that's fair).
I try to be open and honest about everything: good or bad. I said "I consider it rude", "I would have been mildly annoyed", and "[this] aggravates me." Statements of fact.
But why is it (or a softer version) even worth saying? We have ONE maintainer and he is stretched very thin (full-time normie job, young family). He's our most valuable resource. And we can only move forward at his pace.
So it's aggravating in a stupidly ironic way: the more that people impatiently ask for his attention to pull him different directions, the SLOWER things go for everyone.
As for a lack of gratitude: this episode taken in isolation, sure. I get that and that hurts to hear.
But I think people who know the project well will paint you a vastly different picture.
