These awesome lists often seem just a bunch of links that is incomplete yet overwhelming. They are not at all "curated" they are just whatever someone makes a MR for. Here is an awesome list about awesome lists[0], often popular subjects have ten different lists. I do enjoy looking over the list and seeing how many names I recognize and reading up on ones I don't. But other than for enjoyment, I cannot see these lists as useful. For example, if you were going to setup some backups, would you use an awesome list or just search? Effectivly you will end up with the same list of software, with more mature software at the top. Adding keywords to a search refines better than clicking all the different links in an awesome list.

They're not perfect, but they have value. Think of them as newer versions of human curated link lists the internet had before search engines improved substantially (DMOZ [1] [2], for example). Search engines work if you know what you're looking for. These resources help provide starting points and give you some guidance that'll bootstrap you to where you can research what current state is (imho).

The awesome list for Prometheus alerts was super handy and it also served as a reference for our own ones.

  Thanks for the pointer. I wish something like that alert list existed for error/log messages of similar software.

And the backup section in this "awesome" list might be outdated, it still lists Attic which AFAIK is abandoned or rather has a successor in Borg, which is not on the list.

Create a PR and fix them. Also, https://awesome.re https://awesome.re is the de facto 'community' coming together to try to mitigate the lack of duration you mentioned.
