In reply to Seth Goldstein.

I stopped since a while for those reasons and others.

With WordPress 5.0 and the push for Gutenberg mandatory everything is changed in the community and in the contribution.
A volunteer that isn’t a committer doesn’t have any weight in any decision.

I wrote an analysis of the contribution in the WP core using numbers https://daniele.tech/2023/04/wordpress-core-contributions-by-tickets-numbers-2023-edition/ and no one care about the problems that the analysis showed to the world (basically one volunteer doing the 45% of contribution at every release, a huge bus factor).

For contributors is not very satisfying contribute at all…
