The issues mostly link to repositories that were created more than a year ago. So I think what happened is that they already forked the repo and made changes on top of it to get it to work on HarmonyOS, but there was no bandwidth for ongoing maintenance. Someone finally realized that this is unsustainable and demanded that the changes get upstreamed, but the people charged with implementing this directive don't know how you upstream changes. Hence this hamfisted attempt.
I remember researching about early era of internet while trying to make a game for a game jam about online shopping, and damn, it sure is a deep rabbit hole.
From an end user perspective, the whole "proof that you are human" thing is nothing but hassle.
Back then the "select all boxes with traffic light or something" is already ambiguous enough, now they even started to generate AI images for that and to be honest, I can't even get it right like 40% of the time...
... And the actual bots are able to do that better than me. What an absurd time to live in.
But to be honest, even if the author rejects it, what will happen is most likely them forking the repo and make changes on top of it.
