To be honest, there's a lot that is troubling here. Maintainers continue to be burnt out and underappreciated. We've now had multiple years of White House summits, and an entire EU legislative process, on FOSS security. And yet the same number of maintainers are building software without being paid to do it: about 60% of them. In no other part of the global economy do we expect volunteers to solve our problems—but apparently that's what we're doing here, now.
