I appreciate your willingness to come and try and salvage this situation. What I don't understand is why are you the one doing this here and on GH, during the weekend, and not the PM who created the original PR? Surely they have some input.
And another thing is, why was there absolutely no pushback from your part on any of the issues with the original PR, and why it was merged within hours in that state?
Huh. I had a native Android app way back when on the Play Store, that presented the Factbook in the mobile-friendly manner. Was quite popular in Africa of all places. But ultimately had to first delist it and then close the account altogether, once Google started requiring more and more unnecessary SDK updates, and ultimately identity verification. What a trip down the memory lane.

Damn, that last quip is really poisoning the well here. As a maintainer, not being paid for my projects or contributions, I have every right to decide how and if I want to accept contributions.
So you don't want to maintain a fork, but want a maintainer to do it for free for you and wondering why that PR is not accepted? If you feel so strongly about the project popular in your 'industry', consider providing some incentive for the maintainer to care. And no, a coffee is not an incentive.
Edit: this probably came off quite abrasive, but I'm getting entitled comments from users with no contributions, demanding fixes for their most ridiculously niche issues almost weekly. Like stuff doesn't build with their toolchain from 2014. Seriously? Yet, they can't be arsed to even check the fixes or follow up with basic details.
An another thing I hope is added is some kind of internal karma system. E.g. if a user is spamming multiple PR to multiple repos, or is otherwise being disruptive and reported, their contributions should be flagged for review, or optionally not accepted at all.
I like the idea. Right now it's only possible to require approval for actions for new contributors. But once they get a PR in, they're free to spam new PRs that can clog resource-expensive pipelines. Would be nice to have something like 5+ PRs merged and be a contributor for 1 month before a PR is auto created and actions are allowed to run.
How so? Bluetooth has been working out of the box (no tinkering) for me under Linux for the past ten years now across multiple devices. Including stuff like APT-X and LDAC. All with proper OS integration (I use Gnome). What's the story on Windows?
It would help if PRs from newly-created or private accounts could stand out. And perhaps PRs from accounts that spam multiple PRs with dozes or hundreds of commits, would have some kind of a warning that only people with write access to repos can see. In fact perhaps GitHub could throttle those accounts from creating that many PRs in the first place.
Another suggestion would be trying to figure out if a PR was vibe-coded and marking them as such. Same as image-based social media tries to do.
Yeah, we have certificates on our ID cards, but they need to be manually renewed every 3 years which necessitates a trip to the designated authority. And then the underlying system gets changed every so often invalidating the card types altogether, so they can be used as dummy IDs only.
I don't think this should be promoted as coming with OpenWrt preconfigured. This device has no vanilla OpenWrt support, and is unlikely if it will ever have it, considering they seem to be using a proprietary SDK with hardware offload that requires binary blobs with a separate license. Which means you're only getting support as long as they are willing to maintain their fork. So selling this as if it has an OpenWrt support out of the box is deceptive, especially considering the price tag. This is akin to all those SBC advertising Linux support, but then coming with an outdated kernel with no source.
Thanks for the extended answer (including the other comment). I'm always curious to hear what active people past certain age do to do stay fit. And sorry for digging deeper, but do you do anything special to work around or manage your injuries? E.g. additional exercises/stretching.
