I've always interpreted "triage" as the first response whenever something comes up (paralleling the medical term were it's from), is that not how it is?
Triage is what happens when you first look at a new ticket and decide what to do with it, any encounter/interaction after that is not a triage.
If maintainers feel like they need to close tickets only to keep order, than that's a problem with the tooling: tickets should only be closed if they're malformed, solved, or (arguably) wontfix.
It's not obvious to me whether changing the view on transgression and stigma is practically possible.
In my experience it's strongly tied to personal experience: if I committed a transgression in my past I'm going to be more understanding towards others doing the same (still depending on the nature of the transgression and my rationalization of it). It's also worth nothing that what constitutes a transgression changes with the times, and often the public seem to forget/ignore this fact and retroactively apply stigma and resentment.
Hey that's a bit dishonest. The guy is not calling you a problematic flat-earther if you're simply not using his product. He would be if you were writing angry reddit comments about how Wayland sucks because you heard it sucks, I guess. Are you?
