Hello everyone,
An open source app of mine is being "hijacked" by a contributor, and I have no idea how to handle this the right way.
In a span of 6 months, they contributed a lot. During these 6 months, I wasn't careful enough while reviewing their PR (because of personal issues), and they took the initiative to change existing features and made the codebase "messier".
Since then, I started rewriting and cleaning everything, but they keep creating PRs with feature changes, adding features without discussing them beforehand, and it's frustrating, since they are creating multiple PRs a week, with more and more changes.
Reviewing their PR is becoming harder and harder, because I feel like I'm wasting my time arguing with them, as we don't have the same "view" of how should the app work.
I feel like I can't say no to them (or I don't know how to do so) because I should be grateful as they helped with some bug fixes, yet I feel like I'm loosing my own project.
How to handle this (without blocking them) ?
