I have never heard of octotree before this, I haven't used it before, I don't plan to use it, and I don't have any stake in the outcome.
Thus, that said, as a completely disinterested party, the Octotree maintainer really does appear to be doing his best to come off as The Bad Guy. All of his behavior in the relevant Github issues looks like someone who is having a tantrum and wanting to take his ball and go home.
So, while I pretty much totally agree with everything you've written, especially the part about "I must really commend the noncombative, factual tone taken by the issue opener" it's also hard for me to fault others who are letting their annoyance show when simple, factual requests are met with tirades of assholery.
