Why I'm Stepping Away from Elm

So, few days ago, I’ve hit a runtime bug that’s logging Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded in JS console. That bug is in the core/browser and has been given a solution description in Nov’19 (5 months ago). I would be happy to try/apply that fix, and make a PR, but the problem is, there is no HACKING.md that would help me do that. This is a very bad sign, in my opinion, since I am disincentivised from proposing a fix to a core library and/or compiler. It’s not a design change too, just a bugfix. I’m really puzzled why this is so, to be honest.
