Recently I got a PR that is (1) genuinely correct and useful, and (2) not from someone who uses the software in question at all. A happy outcome, but clearly the economics of open source contribution have changed. Although I no way suspect this particular individual of anything untoward, of course it's always possible it could be part of one of the long-term goodwill-generation campaigns mentioned by the Ladybird team. Generating credibility by making seemingly difficult genuine contributions over a long period, then abusing that credibility. But in our particular project we're not in the habit of delegating approval authority, so I'm less concerned about that. |
