If you want many eyes on your open source project, you need to get rid of assholes.
Bad community management is a security risk.
Assholes bully sole maintainers.
Assholes gatekeep and keep maintainer numbers low.
Assholes waste time on the mailing list with petty bullshit.
If you fundraise, assholes are bullying your grant writers and community managers.
Some of the best security contributors don't write a single line of code. They yeet assholes.
