Maybe if he would address the feedback on his MR it would actually get merged
Also from ben’s point of view he has no clue what these ZESC are, and the MR gives no details, I would bet including a website, photos, and perhaps some sales numbers would help fast track a MR in. There isn’t any value in including a random closed source HW with no users.
For these changes, he doesn’t need to release a modified VESC Tool anyways, he can simply publish a firmware BIN which frank will have no complaints about.
As for the the duty cycle cutoff, it is not a bug. It is a setting for which the default value is not the preferred value on a skateboard. But guess what, the default value IS the preferred value on a balancing vehicle, and in many other applications.
As for merge requests getting accepted, i counted 39 this year.
