If I misspoke or offended anyone it was certainly not intentional. The bulk of my comment was based on the linked tweet:
> "Log4j maintainers have been working sleeplessly on mitigation measures; fixes, docs, CVE, replies to inquiries, etc. Yet nothing is stopping people to bash us, for work we aren't paid for..."
I guess that sounded to me like a very small group of isolated volunteers struggling to handle a lot of press and attention along with demands from numerous loud users. I thought perhaps they could have benefited from having some additional support.
My apologies if I unintentionally offended.
- ithkuil 5y agoI don't think that throwing a bunch of new people in a project will necessarily make dealing with the problem (code, doc, communication issues) less stressful for the maintainers involved. Quite the opposite. The only way you can make this be less stressful for the maintainers is for them to delegate it all to some corporation to handle and go shopping, but this effectively means they are no longer the maintainers of that project. Surely there is the possibility that these million dollars are just donated to the maintainers as compensation for a prompt resolution, but I don't think that is so easy to pull off. CTO may have some staffing but paying large sums to external contractors on a short notice is not something easy to pull off in any large organization. No. I think this whole line of reasoning doesn't resonate much with reality.
