There are not that many suspicious acts tbh. Randos complaining about unmaintained repos and unclosed issues is a constant in FOSS world. Sometimes it's even true, some projects really die and stop actually addressing real issues. But that's just inherent downside of the "bazaar" model. I don't think how we can "treat maintainers better" without going full corporate/without going full "cathedral". |

We now have two decades of arms-race data in OSS projects influenced by ESR's paper [1].
At least one bazaar [2] has operated for centuries.
Bazaars can develop decentralized responses to dynamic local threats.
