I'm not saying money would absolutely fix the issue, but I could also see it helping. If Collin was approached by a government that said "Hey, the thing you're maintaining is important, if you want, we'll fund 2 additional full-time maintainers that can contribute based on your guidance", maybe Collin would be in a better position to ensure the Jia Tan contributions were genuine and proper.
- chjj 3y agoThere's probably a number of things that could improve the situation. Mindlessly throwing money and government at a problem almost never improves things. Which government bureaucracy decides how much Lasse Collin should be paid? Based on what metrics? This is a giant can of worms.
- rebolek 3y agoIf I was the maintainer and was approached by government telling me, "hey, here are two folks who're going to be two new full-time maintainers and we're funding them" I certainly would be worried.
- diggan 3y agoSimilarly, if the government approached me and said "Here, embed this black-box binary into your build process", I'd be worried too. But luckily, no one suggested this, nor what you wrote about :)
