This is not an answer to your question but it's tangentially related.
Someone I greatly respected ran an open-source project with the policy of merge everything. Completely flip this idea of carefully review, debate and revise every PR. His theory was that it helps to build an open community, and if something breaks someone else will revert that commit. He says that the main branch was almost always stable, a massive improvement to how it was run previously. He passed several years ago and for some reason this reminded me of him.
I guess what I'm trying to say is if you get something out there that people find useful, the code will be looked at. It doesn't help you if you're looking for someone to collaborate sorry.
This is for 0mq right? I remember reading Pieter Hintjens about this realization he had over a long time of developing 0mq.
Yes that's right. I was only just transitioning into adulthood and Pieter mentored me and profoundly changed how I view many things. It wasn't just zeromq but that was the main thing. I still keep his books at hand on my bookshelf. His death impacted me greatly.
