@crisvdn there are really a list of issues here
most importantly, most modules are created by someone for their own use, and shared
but then they go on to other life things
maybe for a while they hang around and take issues and PRs.
but life goes on.
some modules haven’t been updated in 5-6 years. mm has been active for 10.
I would guess that 99% of the authors are not programmers, and have other day jobs. never experiencing the details , or life cycle.
as this is open source, there is no commitment to maintain a module.
we get waves of new authors maybe 5-6 a year.
without fork, there is no way to ‘fix’ an abandoned module.
now we are at the 'where do I find modules ’ problem. there is one voluntary list. others are trying to improve the usability of the list, but it’s still voluntary.
we keep up the core with issues and PRs and changelog and test cycles. but not any of the 3rd party modules.
I’m a moderator here, never a professional programmer. I do it all for for fun. I keep my stuff up to date. but I don’t list my modules in the 3rd party list.
I don’t use the Developer or Contributor tags on my ID cause I show my support thru my actions. I don’t need an outside label to differentiate myself… I’m no better than anyone else here.
