This is why I always ask if the maintainers are open to a PR first.

Yeah...but even then they may not get to you.

Over the holidays, I had a good back and forth with the maintainer of a project that I started using. The documentation needed updating and created a PR.

Then I went almost 10 comment rounds on why it was necessary, why I wrote it the way I did, and all this bullshit.

I just left it saying "merge it or whatever. I'm moving on."

It's still open.
