Hi Dan,
A quick response before the day gets away from me and I am AFK for a few
days:
If it helps, there is a bit of a middle ground where a
project can be
opened up for inspection, but with a disclaimer that it's not ready
for external support or handling PRs, etc. We do this at my job for a
number of things (one of our core values is transparency and
commitment to open source dovetails with that; we try to open up as
much as we can, from our OS implementation to our firmware).
This is a great idea, and the team and I just spoke about it today. More
soon :)
73,
Rosy
