Sadly, as OS dev, I see third way: development behind closed doors.

With AI and CV reference hunting, number of contributions is higher than ever. Open-source projects are basically spammed, with low quality contributions.

Public page is just a liability. I am considering to close public bugzilla, git repo and discussions. I would just take bug reports and patches from very small circle of customers and power users. Everything except release source tarball, and short changelog would be private!

Open-source means you get a source code, not free customer and dev support!
