The maintainer should be the one evaluated in RetroPGF

If we don't have the idea that "the maintainer is the most important" then open source won't be useful. I think RetroPGF is good for making the maintainer the most important. I don't think the initiator or sponsor is particularly important in OSS. The types of people who gather for momentary trend-following projects and open source are completely opposite, and OSS maintainers are the opposite of the market principle of maintaining public goods through unpaid labor, and it's no good to say that we have completely solved the challenge of extending middleware sustainably through capitalism. If we rely on going concerns, exploitation will intervene. I want to talk more about it.
