Unpopular Opinion.

>> Johnson closed the project to contributions in January 2021, explaining in a section of the README titled "Open-Source, not Open-Contribution" that dealing with even small code contributions was too time-consuming.

Well according to comments on HN and Twitter from around 2016 - 2022. The rarely disputed ( Or disputed but downvoted ) definition of Open Sources means building a community around the project. If it doesn't accept outside contribution and the code doesn't give back and stays within the community ( ~GPL ) it is not true open source.

So I am glad How "open" could open source be is finally back on the table of discussions. But it is sad as it is often the case most people learn it the hard way.
