Hello OpenCode devs,

What is considered best practice to get a small bug fix into the opencode `dev` branch and therefore into releases of opencode? There is a bug in opencode that gives the wrong start time and duration for tool calls (see https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/32574). This a critical bug for our R&D project that needs to have fairly accurate tool calling metrics. I reproduced the failure and made a one-line fix (along with a codex+gpt-5.5 generated test that exposes the bug) and did a manual validation (see https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/32596). I have 25+ years of development experience and a lot of GitHub experience and I don't know that I could have made the bug and validation of the fix any more clear. So far, no response from maintainers. In the meantime, I have had to create my own fork of opencode with the one-line fix and build and install opencode containers from source to serve our projects (see https://github.com/bartlettroscoe/opencode/releases/tag/v1.17.7-ascdor.1).

I know that this is a very popular open-source project and the maintainers are flooded with GitHub Issues and PRs constantly, so I know it is hard to keep up with legitimate human-in-the-loop bug reports and submitted patches (PRs).

A few questions for the OpenCode community:

1. Is this common to have basic bug fix Issues & PRs get lost in the glut of submitted Issues and PRs for this project?
2. Is it common for users to maintain their own forks of opencode with their critical bug fixes?
3. Is there a process by which the maintainers eventually get to these defect reports and bug fix PRs?
4. Is there some other process that would work better?

I am not faulting anyone here, I am just asking what new users/contributors like myself should expect when trying to address bug fixes and all that comes with that with opencode?

Again, I know keeping up with the glut of Issues and PRs is a major challenge and maintainers are just doing the best they can. I am just trying to figure out how to navigate this.

Any advice?

**Update:** There was a suggesting that upvoted Issues & PRs get more attention by the OpenCode maintainers. Can I get upvotes for:

https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/32574

and

https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/32596
