if you are going to propose that i try to propose improvements on his codebase, why don't you try to do it with something you are qualified to do, firstly, and see how responsive he will be

see how you go with improving his documentation or comments, for example

since you clearly already know better than me what it is like to try and work with him

and clearly have a strong basis for arguing that you know the quality of his work

or are you just a hero worshiper?

you clearly don't know or want to know the reason why the most frequent thing happening on github is forks and why they way outnumber pull requests on a per-line-of-code basis

and lastly, i publish all my stuff with CC0 also, so, i'll be putting this stuff out there for people to use when it's ready

my reason for commentary is the same reason why you talk to your coworkers about cleaning up after a mess left by another coworker who is a smarmy brat who gets special treatment for some arbitrary reason

the protocol is a mess, and while he is the main guy making approvals and arbitrary changes on the specification it's gonna remain a mess because you really do get to know a person after reading thousands of lines of their code, and then their snarky, retarded posts on nostr make it lucid
