I'm interested to know how others feel about browsing through random issues on some open-source project like this out of boredom. As someone who struggles finding the time to commit to entire features in my spare time, knowing there are lurkers who could piece together a PR from commits to abandoned forks or getting intouch with developers on discord (for example) is quite inspiring!
Posting that issue into an unrelated thread is not the way to get it done.
I'm not sure how you're involved in that project but that issue thread is absolutely not how to run an open source project, or even how to get an issue fixed.
You've got people offering to help and then a tonne of hangers-on. The issue needs to be split into very defined tasks and worked on methodically - otherwise it's just going to sit there and accumulate more noise for years.
