I would simply deal with these bullies by telling them to fuck off and fork their own thing instead of bugging me to push an update on the main. This feels nore like it should be happening to closed source things where the only way to get a thing in it is to beg the dev.
Unfortunately, that's the social element of social engineering. Not all developers feel that way and it's possible to trick them.
Luckily, most developers are on the spectrum and aren't affected as much by that type of social engineering.
