Look, you probably get paid to work on it, I don’t. So what you are asking, and been doing is, that just because I donated some blood, and you feel like you can ask for one of my kidneys too. Just saying.

As I said, one of the reasons I did not sign Microsoft’s CLA was that they did not show they can maintain the code (as a first step, building it and provide a “official” binary). If they want to maintain it, they need to show that they can. That’s not going to change until you make some positive contribution.

Show you more code so that you can ask more questions, and make more negative contributions? I don’t think so 😉.
