This post is heavily inspired by my experience over the last ten years participating in the open source community and eight years as a maintainer of Homebrew (which I’ve maintained longer than anyone else at this point).

    Every open source software has a maintainer. In case of it being maintained by ‘community’, it is maintained by a person who pretends all are included.

      This. There nearly never is a community, at least in practice. Bigger projects have different roles, but its mostly “if you dont know how to code, you are likely not helping”
