Old boss used to loudly thank my colleague for doing tickets on the weekends, and too often people seem to assume I want to spend my weekend &amp;quot;brushing up&amp;quot; on some implementation detail for a project I don&amp;#x27;t care about.

The whole point of open source is they could have done it themselves, if they wanted some integration they needed and you didn&amp;#x27;t.&lt;p&gt;And then they could either contribute it back, fork your project or just keep it to themselves, if the license allows it.
