Like other large #FreeSoftware projects, #Gentoo developers have varying degrees of activity. There are some people who dedicate a lot of their free time to Gentoo, maintain hundreds of packages, participate in multiple areas. Then, there are people with narrower interests, lower commit counts, but they are still putting an effort and making Gentoo a better distribution — and that matters. But then, there is the tail.
There is a few of developers whose main talents seem to be 1) finding packages that require absolutely minimal maintenance effort, and 2) justifying their developer status with long essays. I mean, this is getting beyond absurd. It is not just "my packages are all up-to-date". It is not even "my packages require very low maintenance, that's why I'm not doing much". It is literally "I deliberately choose low-maintenance packages, so I don't have to do anything". But of course, all these people definitely need commit access to Gentoo, and show off their Gentoo developer badges, and it's *so damn unfair*.
And in the meantime, other developers are overburdened, and getting burned out. And they step down from more things. And who takes these things over? Of course, not the developers who just admitted to not having much to do…

The scale of investment and the involvement of governments means ROI must be found (or rather created) now, by any means necessary! Demand already is being forcefully created to justify these expenditures. Business models, regulations and policies/politics are pivoted in lockstep. Aside from all the conceptual, ethical and environmental issues of LLMs and their required infrastructure, these shifts are already also impacting chip/hardware production pipelines and start spelling the end of pe…
