- beanjuiceII 3y agowould be nice if he'd come out with some statements considering he's still committing to xz as of few hours ago https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=commit;h=f9cf4c05edd14dedfe63833f8ccbe41b55823b00 https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=commit;h=f9cf4c05edd14de...

- doug_durham 3y agoIt makes me wonder. Is it possible to develop a robust Open Source ecosystem without destroying the mental health of the contributors? Reading his posting really made me feel for him. There are exceedingly few people who are willing do dedicate themselves to developing critical system in the first place. Now there is the burden of extensively vetting every volunteer contributor who helps out. This does not seem sustainable. Perhaps users of open source need to contribute more resources/money to the software that makes their products possible.
