>If you have a patch, and others know how to make it better, why would you forgo that chance to learn something?
Maybe because there is not much to learn from people who cannot give you feedback about your patch without calling you an idiot, or making sure that they show that they are above your level.
Because in toxic projects, they are not about teaching you something. And because the only thing you learn is to never contribute to a toxic project again.
Also, why don't you try to create a github account, where you disguising yourself anything but a white guy, and start to contribute. Or just ask any female developer about their experiences.
>You submitting patches has nothing to do with the community.
If you seriously believe this is true, you have no idea about software development.
