The grub2 package had pull requests disabled until last year. That's a
pretty obvious hammer to indicate patches are not welcome. That's why
I couldn't send PRs to add the protected.d files for grub and had to
wait for someone else to do it by filing a BZ.
That change went in in 2020, so we're pushing two years ago. The patch
was ultimately written by Javier as
8c2cf1c36843a2eb1e52c29f20ef4167463189ec. While it's not the most
complex thing in the world, it's not trivial either.
The relevant bug was
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1874541
which you filed. You did not mention that sending PRs was broken, nor
did you provide a patch there, nor did you indicate willingness to
provide one.
To turn around after that and say, today, that the grub maintainers have
said "patches NOT welcome" seems more like an assumption of bad faith
than a reasonable characterization to me.
Be well,
