Given they have one to fix usage of llvm-config, I assume clang is also supported or being worked on.

That sort of patch is clearly fixing something that blocked him, and probably blocked many others who didn't get as far as trying to fix it.

A project should take on useful small patches, thats how you onboard contributors.

		That again assumes a project is looking to onboard contributors. I absolutely get that it was an unfortunate interaction from the email writer's perspective, and it's really unfortunate. But there are a lot of concerns/bureaucracy, etc in case of large projects like this. It may just never got to the person responsible, because it is a cross-cutting concern (so no clear way to assign it to someone) with a low priority.
