I think theres absolutely zero implicit contract that implies that open source software maintainers owe ANYone ANYthing at ANYtime.
That's the reason it's open source because everyone can fix it, all an open source maintainer owes you is a P.R. review.
Therefore if an open source project maintainer is giving you their time and patience then you better be extra polite and grateful to them.
If Ben and Jerrys left a bunch of ice cream on the sidewalk and a bunch of people ate it and got sick then there would be zero liability on Ben and Jerrys.
