This appears to be the official account, not a personal one. If he wants me to take htmx seriously as a prod dependency, I care about how he treats it, all the way from code to governance to community interactions.
He has no such obligation to do these things, this is all his choice. I'm not sure why the contention? If you read my comment, it was strictly about production scenarios, not about all credibility for all scenarios. If this project is meant to be treated as fun CRAPL, Matthew Might made a great license for that: https://matt.might.net/articles/crapl/ .
