New organizational tools would enable new modalities ( Bernie voice: "I am asking you once again to read 'Governable Spaces' by @ntnsndr ")

i never heard of the hack. i wonder if you'd get similar results if instead of the original dev owning the project, it's automatically open to contributions that can be approved/merged by voting (maybe the dev nominates a 'board' or somehow a consensus develops algorithmically for who should have a say)

also totally overrated to let the platform communicate those important phases for you, great to encourage reaching out personally and add context/contact
