I had an idea for a new feature. I went to Feature Requests.
Then a moderator yells at me for being in the wrong place.
Nowhere, including the ESPHome discussion section am I directed to post a new feature request on GitHub. And on the Git pages I see a thousand unaddressed issued dating back to 2018, my response is to give up. No one is managing the open issues on GitHub, so why bother?
I did not yell at you. Yelling on the internet is performed in all capital letters. I told you where the more appropriate appropriate place was. I didn’t even lock the topic and I provided you with a possible solution.
This is not true, which you can confirm by perusing closed issues. Sure some go stale but a lot get merged fixes. It is a complex project and developers are limited. If you are interested in an issue make sure you don’t let it go stale by posting updates after each version release. Either that the issue is fixed or still exists.
If I knew python, I would try to offer fixes to some. Is anyone looking at the older posts to determine if there’s even a need to keep it open? Maybe no one else has asked for the feature or the OP is not-responsive?
There’s only 2 developers for ESPhome, the rest are volunteer developers. There’s only so much they can do. That’s only 80 hours a week of guaranteed work. There’s 1k+ feature requests, not including bugs and issues. You might need to pare back your expectations.
