#3It would be nice to have some context on this. I assume there was some drama regarding this "Cognitect" organisation named. As someone not involved with Clojure at, it's difficult to understand the context for why this post was created.

TFA was posted in 2018; that drama is from the past few days. What connection is there?

It was a reaction to the State of Clojure Survey 2018 (https://danielcompton.net/clojure-survey-2018) and discussions it sparked, in which there were depands for Clojure to change to a more community-driven development process.

This was the context back then: https://old.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/a0pjq9/rich_hickey...
I was reminded of this gist when reading the discussion about MinIO (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47000041).

A thesis on "don't abuse people in open source" and a bot "abusing people in open source"?

There was also a thread about MinIO not being maintained anymore.
Hard to say without commentary. Maybe the poster here was influenced by multiple threads (I guess that seems likely, if it was just one thread they influenced them, they could have linked it in that thread).

But the link to the post was posted here just now! - which I'm assuming means something.
Both share a theme: the trials and tribulations of running an open source project, I suppose. Some contributions, one way or another, demand more of them than the maintainer might like. How do you deal with this? How do you set the boundaries? And so on.
