I suspect it's a great contribution, which is exactly why I'm mad it's not
going upstream...

I don't think we are dismissing contributions at all  here. The way I read
the conversation is

Gonzalo: As we already discussed, this is not a good way to submit
contributions. You should do this and that.
Flavio: Yes, I know this is not a good way, that's why I didn't post
patches. On the other hand, why I don't just take  maintenance of the
module over?

I suspect Gonzalo didn't take this too badly because he didn't write
TamTam. But in most free software project this behaviour would have been
seen as insulting to the maintainer.

Gonzalo offered to work with Flavio to get his work submitted properly. I
hope Flavio takes that offer, showing it was all just a misunderstanding.
Happy to help out with that btw if needed, I know Gonzalo is busy

I think the two issues are very different, in this case the maintainer was
super responsive. Are you willing to do the work if you are given access to
the repositories?
