I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on what principles open source projects should adhere to in order to promote transparency, inclusiveness, and effective development. Are there any specific projects you feel do a great job following certain principles in how they operate? I'm interested in how projects organize decision making, manage donations, incorporate community feedback, communicate updates, and more. Please share projects you appreciate for how they approach open source development!

It is their project, their code, their processes. They do what they want. I hate when people tell me what to do on my own projects.

GitHub (and the others) are more inclusive than ever: free to fork, free to work.

You’re describing and demanding additional work that takes time, and that they may not want to do at the time. If you want it, fork it and do it since it’s free for you.
