> It isn't sustainable, and it's a sign of bad leadership
It can be sustainable; not all FOSS projects need every possible contributor. Being a good leader is not a prerequisite, either. Direct cooperation isn’t even necessary!
The fact that source code is available allows anyone to fork and compete with the original authors. On average, only mismanaged projects will get out-competed by their forks.
