Thank you for your contribution

@feross, while you are doing great work to ease financial support for us, open source developers, I spend weeks, reviving a "dead" dependency in one of your major projects: webtorrent-desktop.
I send you pull request (webtorrent/webtorrent-desktop#1240) in September 2017, replacing the module. Which has been ignored since then.
In the mean time webtorrent-desktop reached the point where old musicmetadata is actually causing an error, preventing audio files to be played (webtorrent/webtorrent-desktop#1320).
I won't sign up for any financial contribution, but I would appreciate if you ensure my contribution, and the contribution of other brave developers, is no longer ignored.
🙌 Thanks! ✨
Thanks for your contribution to WebTorrent Desktop. I appreciate it. I'll do my best to review it but I currently have a huger backlog. I took ~8 months off from OSS at the end of 2017 and I'm now going through 1000+ issues that have piled up since then.
You are advertising to bring in new ideas and to contribute, that sets an expectation.
Maybe set a scope as temporary measure to focus development in a particular area so it is clear which issues from the backlog are likely to get attention.
Maybe you can inspire some of your fellow contributors to help you picking up and shifting issues from the backlog. I don't mind to review some.
