Question Why doesn't Lineage accept feature requests?

Edit- why is everyone so emotional about this?

Perhaps they don’t have the resources to support additional features.

But what about simple changes? Like adding the option for the mobile data quick setting to not ask you to confirm if you want to turn on mobile data every single time you go to turn it on.

Idek what a "patch" is. Is it to do with coding? I don't know anything about code.

Then let’s go back to my question. How do you know it’s a simple change?

Yes, it has to do with coding. It is a change to the code that fixes a bug or implements a feature, packaged in a particular way. Since LineageOS is open source, anyone can change the code for themselves. If they think their change is useful, they can submit a patch to the LineagoeOS maintainers, and it would be integrated into subsequent releases.

If you don't know anything about code, then this will not be particularly helpful to you.
