Someone does voluntary work and people think that gives them some ethical privilege to be asked before someone puts their work to the test?
Sure it would be nice to ask but at the same time it renders the testing useless. They wanted to see how the review goes if they aren't aware that someone is testing them.
You cant do this with consent.
The wasting time argument is nonsense too its not like they did this thousands of times and beside that, reviewing a intentional bad code is not wasting time is just as productive as reviewing "good" code and together with the patch-patch it should be even more valuable work. It not only or adds a patch it also make the reviewer better.
Yeah it aint fun if people trick you or point out you did not succeed in what you tried to do. But instead of playing the victim an play the unethical human experiment card maybe focus on improving.
