the lesson *I'm* choosing to take from xz, as an oss maintainer, is that anyone trying to pressure or guilt me into doing something should immediately be told no, for security reasons
I think it can depend on how and why you’re being pushy too. I’ve definitely had to have my fair share of passionate conversations and strongly advocating (yes, you could say pushing) for what I believe is best for the direction of a project with my fellow maintainers, especially when it comes to important things (like how to handle specific security issues etc since there’s not always one way of handling it). Generally speaking though you’re right.
