I wonder what it's like maintaining a project where you regularly get competent contributions. No wonder they are less impressed with AI - they are the 0.1% of maintainers who had something better.

I see it the other way; Linux is a huge project, but being a solo maintainer for a mid-sized project like Fil-C is a different level than one of dozens of maintainers for a large project like Linux. Sort of like being a solo founder for a semi-successful startup is different than being a rank engineer at Google.
