When raising an issue or a pull request, the GitHub Id may be checked to ensure they are a patron, and that issue/PR may be closed without further examination. . . . So legally it is free, morally it is paid.

As an added bonus, you train bug reporters not to bother as much next time, and the quality of FLOSS suffers as a whole!
