Great, well those FOSS enthusiasts can contribute something to the project if they want to dictate how it is run, or/and they can set it up and moderate it.
Again, projects need to be super careful not to get caught up in overheads than actually producing results. One of my projects we spent so much time jerking around with choosing source code systems and such, that we didn’t really produce anything. You start nitpicking features, servers, long term reliability, etc, instead of just picking what you’re familiar with which might be closed source but super popular.
I we go extreme, a hardcore FOSS user could even argue developers shouldn’t use VS Code and argue they should use another tool. Well, if you’re more productive with VS Code and produce more/better code though, use that, because its the results that matter.
The fact is, most projects get 0 donations and people do them as a hobby. If people seriously want this, they can contribute donations to projects to get them to switch
