It’s not worth the time. You will spend uncountable hours of (unpaid) extremely exhausting labour talking to people who only care about solving their personal super specific problems. This is true for 90%+, there are exceptions but they are exceedingly rare
Trust me I tried many many times.
This has nothing to do with Google being evil it’s just one of the realities of maintaining a big open source project.
