There is no hostility.  There is directness because
projects frequently get "ideas" by visitors.  It is
easiest to address the ideas by being as direct as
possible.  It saves time for everyone involved.

You need to be careful of generalities like "is the
AST the best path ..."  If it wasn't it would not be
used.

You will get a little more traction with specific
questions which requires some time commitment and grit
to dig into the existing code.

Maybe instead of asking if the AST is the best option
you could ask: "does anyone have suggestions on the best
path to get involved with conversion and the conversion
code?"
