Inquiry: What is the plan for the game's future development? about kag-base HOT 1 OPEN

There is no money for an actual developer position, so the value of a PR is completely dependent on the whims of other volunteers, and it will probably stay that way. If you're worried about your effort going to waste then you should try to ask around or guess as to whether there's anyone who would be willing to look over + test your code, and think about what type of changes they might be motivated to help with. Even for "no-brainers", it takes time and energy. This is just the reality of a game existing post-devs; there is no plan, and unfortunately it doesn't matter whether your PR is good if nobody feels like reviewing it. If you can't enjoy the process even if your PR is ultimately meaningless, then for the sake of your sanity, you should think twice before coding it.

It might be worth adding a disclaimer like the above to the Github somewhere.

I think the command changes were due to hackers ruining the game, so they were kind of urgent and may well have saved public servers. Obviously it would have been nice if they had turned out a bit cleaner. I'm just grateful there was even enough motivation to patch serious hacks. Am I jealous they did that instead of adding my trampoline mods? Only on some small selfish level. I certainly wouldn't call it an "awful decision," it's just that people's motivation has limits. Mostly I'm just grateful! I hope you can be grateful too.

You could always try to host a server yourself if you want to ensure you get at least some value out of your changes. Or try to get some other server host in the community to add them.
