Recently there have been a number of people making direct demands to
libtiff maintainers (e.g. @userid in GitLab communications, or
human@address) to create libtiff releases, or address some specific
issue which is of interest to them.
If it is not clear, libtiff developers/maintainers are unpaid
volunteers who are donating precious time that they could be spending
at the lake, walking their dog, or spending time with their family.
It is not reasonable to make direct demands of a volunteer. Making
direct demands to a volunteer to perform a service for you is likely
to have the opposite effect which was intended.
Rather than making direct demands of a volunteer, it is better to
volunteer your own time to assist the libtiff project, or perhaps
provide direct payments for services to volunteers willing to accept
such payments, keeping in mind that developers at this skill level
normally earn well over $100k/year in US dollars and you would be
paying for their most valuable time.
