So I guess it is time to switch to a different style of FOSS development ?
The cathedral style, which is utilized by Fossil, basically in order to contribute you'll have to be manually included into the group. It's a high-trust environment where devs know each other on a 1st-name basis.
Oh BTW, Fossil is a fully-fledged alternative to Git & Github. It has:
All in One binary
What if I want to contribue to a FoSS project because I'm using it but I don't want to make new friends?
But you still use it, no ?
That is a wonderful method because it works in a similar way of many FediVerse server administrators admitting people to new accounts. This way is the slop is immediately filtered away
But what if the code is your own and super embarrassing?
Why would your code be embarassing ? Yes I get it, but so what But at least it's not AI-Slop, you fork it & do your own thing.
It's not a perfect solution
I doubt my skills are sufficient enough in anything I make, feel less confident in it, and more judged by others critiquing me for it. I know I don't suck at what I've done so far, but I never feel good enough to share my work with the public at large.
