They don't say so explicitly, but it looks like the community-led open source governance model is gone too? Not already discussed on this thread I think.
In 2020 when antirez stepped down, Redis the company explained:
> "As Salvatore steps back from maintaining Redis, the project’s scale can no longer be managed as a BDFL-style project," explained Gottlieb and Agra. "We see this as an opportunity for Redis to adopt a new model that, hopefully, will promote more teamwork and structure and let us scale up its development and maintenance processes."
> As the Redis Open Source Governance page explains, the project aims "to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible" and toward that end has adopted a Code of Conduct, as many other open source projects have already done.

It looks like the "Redis Open Source Governance page" used to be at https://redis.io/docs/about/governance/ https://redis.io/docs/about/governance/ ?
Currently 404.

It explained there is a "core team". Not all of whom worked for Redis the company, although largely controlled by Redis the company. So I guess it wasn't exactly community-controlled before, but it's notable there is no longer an "open source governance" model.
antirez's good-bye blog post says:
> I leave Redis in the hands of the Redis community… I’ll just leave Yossi and Oran the task of understanding how to interface with the rest of the Redis developers to find a sustainable development model… I believe I’m not just leaving Redis in the hands of a community of expert programmers, but also in the hands of people who care about the legacy of the community spirit of Redis.
