> It's a model that has worked well for OSS - many projects do just fine with Github alone, sustainably, for years.

What's the biggest OSS project you know of with no IRC, Discord, Slack or other chat presence?

The question is loaded because while a OSS project might have chat "presence", it doesn't mean at all that its organisation revolves around said chat medium.

Chat is more often a support channel.

When you keep in mind the scarcity and distribution of OSS maintainers, the need for asynchony will be evident.

(If you want an answer: multiple 1k+ stars projects I'm a maintainer of)
