You, yourself, participated in discussion in that PR.

So? That doesn't mean I remember it, thats why I searched.

I closed the PR because we had reached an impasse that made it highly unlikely that the PR would be accepted.

Well, thats what happens when all requests for changes are rejected.

I just re-skimmed it and those involved seem to be trying to address the concerns they have so it _can_ be accepted. But the sticking points seem to be:

1. the unconditional "hide on startup" instead of the usual "restore whatever the state was when shutdown" that all other UI settings have, and 2. the lack of a fixed documentable method to bring the menubar back. A user settable keybinding can't be documented as the manual doesn't know what the user set it to, and unfortunately mnemonics don't work when the menubar is hidden, and no alternative was suggested AFAICT. I guess an item could be added to the right click menu if the main menu is hidden, but nobody thought of it at the time.
