@julesbl@mastodon.me.uk @Khrys@mamot.fr We've long depended on software maintained by fewer people than that. The point is: anyone can contribute, committers review and approve. If that has always been a reasonable process, why not now? There are lots of open source projects where the creator of the project has more power than that, and we've always accepted it because we trust the maintainers, and when they break that trust, the community forks, which has also happened plenty of times. But at the end of the day, it seems to me most people here are irrationally panicking about this. Isn't the field optional? Isn't what goes in the field entirely under the user's control? By all means discuss this honestly, but I don't see anything here that justifies the hype and panic.
