I agree with you but would like to carve out an exception to the rule: folks who condescendingly reply with "PRs welcome" to people instead of just saying "no, I won't be working on this because [reason]".

Should someone who was told that actually show up later with the code in hand, I'd say they are very much owed respect and serious consideration at the very least. I'll fall just short of saying their code should be merged in by default. This is a completely avoidable moral responsibility, one that maintainers often inadvertently bring upon themselves by daring others to do their work for them.
