When you're maintaining an open source project, you'll encounter two kinds of contributions:

- Those who open a pull request
- And those who say they will contribute

These often turn out to be two very distinct groups.

Jookia wrote about contributing code:

It "had just kept happening with almost every open source interaction: I would try to communicate something and the other person would read it completely different. No amount of clarifying seemed to help, they would believe I was acting in bad faith."

Interesting that GNOME Software tells you if a software is translated into your language, if not, there's a warning on the top with a button to help contribute :blobcat:

If your favourite app is not translated into your language, start contributing!

By doing so, you make the software accessible to non-English speakers. :blobcattea:

Drum Machine on GNOME Software in Italian language, with a warning on top that says "This application will appear in English" with a button that says "Help contribute"Refine on GNOME Software in Italian language, no warning on the top because the application is translated.
You can also notice it from the description, translated in Italian.

Are truly mischievous?

Or are they just to the by showing you its flaws..

Maybe we're just vilifying the messenger and they are just misunderstood?

Listen to them, learn from them. Often you'll find that they send out small signals early that just gets ignored.

The ignorance makes their voices louder and by that time it's too late.
