There might be a lot of definitions of what "research" actually is.
I realize that the maintainers may be very busy, but is it completely
illegal to sent a patch just to raise the flag and ask to share an
expertise? Note this was not a private e-mail, and it looks a bit
strange to treat it just like an attempt to waste your personal time.
And don't you think that such a policy definitely cuts off the
beginners and makes the community less friendly?
