So you don't want to maintain a fork, but want a maintainer to do it for free for you and wondering why that PR is not accepted? If you feel so strongly about the project popular in your 'industry', consider providing some incentive for the maintainer to care. And no, a coffee is not an incentive.
Edit: this probably came off quite abrasive, but I'm getting entitled comments from users with no contributions, demanding fixes for their most ridiculously niche issues almost weekly. Like stuff doesn't build with their toolchain from 2014. Seriously? Yet, they can't be arsed to even check the fixes or follow up with basic details.
