Comment on Community contributions to Element Web (Matrix client) are often not welcomed

Matrix is open protocol, everybody is free to build their own clients. Maintainers of any one implementation are free to choose code to include in their project. And people can fork Element if they don't like the way it is going.
Maybe Element developers are not great in including external contribution… but still nothing else seems to implement Matrix that well.
No other client seems feature-complete. I wish I could use NeoChat instead of Matrix, but it still cannot even handle encrypted conversations properly. Are they rejecting contributions too?

In my opinion it is because the team which implements the features to Element, including what to implement and how to do it, substantially decides the protocol itself as well. You would easily identify who both implement the protocol and review PRs.
