I got called out for not directly helping the contributors with the technicalities lol.
I thought it was okay to write supportive messages on repository issues but I guess it depends on how busy the project is 😅
Though I’m glad to see that UT is popular enough that certain comments can be considered noise 😊
I think the matter is that:
- all main UT contributors are aware that VoLTE is that many people need (and those who don't need it yet are going to need it eventually),
- the project has been working on it for years,
- but sadly it's difficult, because even if you get it to work, it's usually per device, and even when VoLTE works on a device on one carrier, that does not mean it will work on every carrier.
Also, being asked / or even encouraged again and again about one thing, can lead to burnout and will definitely not bring up happy feelings.
It makes sense to understand their prospective as newer people may be unaware of how to best support the project.
