Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months (github.com)

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

I mean the author has simply ignored this issue. If you look into it there are a few that people simply do not know how to generate, so without the maintainer it's impossible to make a PR solving this.

I mean if I got an issue that sounded that entitled and this is something I do in my spare time, I'd probably ignore it.

My point is they could have worded it better and it might have gotten a response. If you ask kindly about the BLOBs and maybe for some help to push you in the right direction instead of saying "I don't know", then it is fair to call the maintainer rude for ignoring it completely.
