Gregory's ServerOne of the most important lessons in volunteer-driven development is that motivation isn’t commutable. If a contributor hadn’t worked on thing Y, that doesn’t automatically mean that they would have dedicated their time to thing Z instead.
It’s not a given that people are equally motivated for everything.

@bragefuglseth This is one of the most annoying things I see in discussions about forks or alternative software, as an example if COSMIC didn't exist then those developers could spend there time contributing to GNOME or KDE, but that's not how this has ever worked.
It seems like some people want to treat the whole FOSS world as one company where if you didn't work on one thing then you'd be shifted over to the team working on this other thing.
