Outside Contributions Silently Ignored Multiple Times Now

Hugging Face Forums [Unofficial] April 17, 2026
Source

I am sure it’s common, but ultimately it’s still a problem. I’ve contributed to several projects throughout the years and this is the first time I’ve ever personally encountered this type of communication.

I have been filing detailed bug reports, creating PR’s with bug fixes, and also catching bugs before they got merged and I’d expect at least even an emoji reaction at this point to know that whatever I did was acknowledged.

For example, one of my bug fixes is to xet-core. It’s also not merged but at minimum it got acknowledged and that’s all I’d ask for when someone puts in the effort [BUG-FIX]: download progress not reported to Python during file transfers by tobocop2 · Pull Request #791 · huggingface/xet-core · GitHub so I appreciate that the maintainer responded. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect the same for the huggingface_hub project.
