Last year I raised the idea of Open Source Quality Institute: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2024/04/01/OSQI
Today, I’m wondering if anyone has tried to launch an Open-Source-Maintainer guild or union or whatever? It could set rates and draft contracts and act collectively against organizations maltreating maintainers.
Not sure if the idea is laughably far-fetched or bleedlingly obvious.
