Ask HN: What critical open source software you use that is not well maintained?
The goal is to make a list of OSS projects get public money and be recognized as "critical public infrastructure"

If they're 'not maintained' there is nobody to give the 'public money' to.
Updated : not "well maintained". Or not enough maintained compared to their criticity and their global use.
Doesn't this punish maintainers who do a good job for free, by excluding them from funding?
I think you have to look one step deeper at how to deploy resources to encourage the system sustainably, not just throw money at the dead and dying.
