MRs from who? Because in my experience it often feels like a closed club in gnome land.
I’ve had experience trying to contribute to evince the gnome PDF viewer. It was so frustrating and I was immediately and repeatedly confronted with negativity and distrust that I quit. That was the only time I did that after making a serious effort.
If you scare away anyone else it’s no wonder that it seems like there is no problem.
Gnome is a very large project with hundreds of different developers and maintainers. I can’t speak to your experience but you should avoid generalizing like that, also filing a complaint is always an option; there’s a few people over the years that have been kicked out.
Offering your services to maintain a fork?
that is the typical gnome response yeah. " don’t like it? do it yourself but we sure won’t merge it"
5/6 of MRs get merged…
