Nice to see a true idealist from the 1990s/2000s who has really helped.

These days the first step for a non-code "contributor" is to draft bylaws and CoCs, get some fake "president" title in the project and proceed to suppress and feel superior to high performers.

Unfortunately, often the high performers aren't aware of their worth (there is a pg article that touches the subject) and give the power to those who do not deserve it.

Which community are you referring to? In mine it was the very same, and I guess it's very common.

HN hackers are known to be particularly modest.
