REST in Peace? Django's Framework Problem

The Django REST Framework maintainer has removed access to thousands of community discussions, leaving even other maintainers pleading for read-only access. What does this mean for Django’s ecosystem sustainability?

@lemeteore Usually, open-source maintainers are good developers. They are, however, not good at and probably not interested in community cat herding. I am not surprised, to see some of them looking for mitigations to being overwhelmed.

Are there people out there loving the interaction and are able to distill community chatter in something a developer can act upon? If so, step up and offer your services to an open-source project out there.

And a call to maintainers. It is OK to not like or be good at community management. Put the word out and look out for people who can help you in that regard.
