Don't misguide yourself by interpreting that X is saying "fuck off" because of a very short answer that didn't say or suppose that, just ask for a bit more of argument.
You haven't asked for more besides this mail who's full of anger. I don't blame you and I understand your path to this judgment but it won't help the situation. I too didn't have responses for a long time in some emails that I sent but at some point I get a response. Why is this so long ? Well not all free/libre software developers are on the project 24/7 a lot of them are benevolent and have their own job next to it. Like you, you probably have other activities than just working on image editing software. I wrote 2 emails saying I can help with build infra, which > is listed as a need in YOUR blog post.
