Not everyone is a developer and they closed issues on github so why bother?
All of these packaging systems have plenty of tutorials. Speaking from experience, many maintainers were not developers when they started maintaining packages for distros other than the official distros. I have worked with several maintainers who do work in tech and know socially several who had no background. This could be a great place for you to start!
You bother because FOSS is as much paying it forward as it is getting shit for free.
I will not bother because issues are closed and pull requests rejected left and right from signal for years.
any idea why? Perhaps it's the same as the gnome-mentality, following a very strict philosophy?
No idea
