@analogist What’s most missing is a non-profit to pick these projects up that is funded by what’s essentially a rounding error at big tech’s scale. There are countless libraries that are maintained by a handful of volunteers that are foundational, and at some point that value can either be recognized or allowed to wilt on the vine.
It doesn’t take a lot of resources to maintain most of these projects, but there needs to be an organization that can step in when needed
