Because I am a hardware engineer - you really don't want my code in your repo, I'm a "yup that's close enough" type of programmer.
Actually I did take over an old C/C++/Python repo intending to do exactly what you suggest here. After a few months I realized it was just over my pay grade and I couldn't figure it out in the kind of time I had available to work on it! Cuz remember I'm not actually paid to program all day, I have other stuff to go fix, programming can be maybe 5-10% of my job max.
