I didn't mean that everyone should be an employee. But some subsystems don't have enough maintainer capacity, while there are firms that want to push patches into those parts of the code base. None of them individually find it worthwhile to pay for a full-time maintainer, but maybe they could share the cost and hire one through the Linux Foundation?
