Who actually reads the code? (2015) (fsf.org)

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'll often enable watching on random github projects I think might be interesting, or libraries as such... most of the time I mark all notices read and move on, but there are days I'll look through and review PRs... there's been once or twice I've seen some odd-looking commits.

One was the author pointing to their own npm cache server instead of npm proper (made it in from testing to a master commit), a few others just "interesting"... I feel a bit of a responsibility to help the larger OSS community, with whom I use so much, and am able to give comparatively little as much as I am able.
