It is a bad example but most major open source projects are in that regard. However, the community driven ecosystems (Rust, Go, JavaScript ..) have significant components in that particular unpaid maintainer situation. And that is a problem.
- watwut 7y agoGo is done and maintained by google employees. JavaScript specification has syndicate behind it. Rust has clear governance, through I cant find who pays for it all. Any big enough project will formalize relationships at one point or another - latest when they need to raise money or organize conference. These projects are too big to be run over the weekend, they do have to pay regular staff.
