i might be inexperienced at this, but i genuinely think that "fit in" is probably not the best criteria when you are building/contributing to a security library. I wish everyone could find a way to work together. OpenSSL was safe because everyone worked on it and contributed to it.

The trouble is, OpenSSL ended up not being safe and the lack of ownership contributed to distributing a catastrophic flaw to just about every endpoint on the internet. If you wrote that in fiction as a maliciously-intended incident, people would probably complain it's too naive and unrealistic.
