Asking open source community to contribute? Where's the incentive?
We appreciate the invitation to contribute, but Twitter is a big company, it has laid off huge numbers of developers screwing them over - maybe offer a bounty for contributions rather than looking to exploit our efforts to keep the platform afloat
